The relevant Professional Standards Regulation Board will provide a list of procedures to be followed to complete the annual Trust Audit. The Accountant will choose a sample of accounts to audit based on the guidelines provided and complete the required procedures on the sample chosen.
Any findings of non-compliance with the regulations laid out by the Professional Standards Regulation Board are reported in the Trust Report. The Trust Report is then sent to the appropriate Professional Standards Regulation Board for the Board to review and act upon if required.
