The wider assessment
Define what representation does and does not include
Each instruction identifies the location, people, questions and evidence to obtain. The report records what was observed or said, identifies open actions and separates factual notes from matters requiring a solicitor, surveyor, accountant or other appointed expert. You remain responsible for the investment decision and any contract.
Representation is not a valuation, survey, legal review, regulated investment recommendation or authority to handle funds. Written authority and limits are agreed before attendance.
