An auditor appointed for the purposes of section 136(2) or 139(2) in respect of a charity's accounts shall make a report to the charity in accordance with this section.
The report must state—
whether the revenue account gives a true and fair view of the charity's income and expenditure, so far as relating to its housing activities, and
whether the balance sheet gives a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charity as at the end of the period to which the accounts relate.
The report must give the name of the auditor and be signed.
The auditor shall, in preparing the report, carry out such investigations as are necessary to form an opinion as to—
whether the charity has complied with section 135(2) during the period to which the accounts relate, and
whether the accounts are in accordance with accounting records kept under section 135(2)(a).
If the auditor thinks that the charity has not complied section 135(2) or that the accounts are not in accordance with its accounting records, that must be stated in the report.
If the auditor fails to obtain all the information and explanations which the auditor thinks necessary for the purposes of the audit, that must be stated in the report.
