Information about the pros and cons of Company Audit/Company Inspection - Russell Chapman
The new rules give the Society an option to choose an inspection of their accounts instead of an audit. In order for the members present to make an informed choice, Russell Chapman gave an outline of the two procedures and gave his view that an inspection would be more bene cial for the Society. There is less cost and bureaucracy in an inspection and that leaves room for bespoke reports to be commissioned into elements such as investments. If the members vote for an inspection they do always have the option to ask for an audit.
