Highlighted points and common mistakes
- Verify reporting period and trigger from the operative instrument.
- Do not backfill an evidentiary trail after an inspection or dispute if contemporaneous records were required.
- Keep the effective date of the Act provision and of each linked subordinate instrument in the working paper.
- Where facts span more than one regulatory period, analyse each period under the law then in force rather than applying today’s text retrospectively without a legal basis.
