| Risk Details | There is no flexibility on timeframes for the filing of the final signed financial statements with associated bodies each year. This risk can be managed by adherence to the annual audit timetable as agreed between Greatwell Homes and the Auditor. There is a risk that changes to recommended practice and audit directives are not incorporated into the financial statements. There is a reliance on the appointed Auditor to support Greatwell Homes to manage this risk. |
