## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

List the role and the date, and mark the announcement as due immediately.

- What the AI does: From the resignation, appointment or removal on the file, list the role, the person, and the date of the change, and mark the announcement as due immediately. Do not write the announcement.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer confirms the role is one the rule covers, reads the Chapter 19 definitions, and writes and authorises the announcement.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. The immediate notice covers a change of chair, director, CEO, CFO or secretary, and a change of auditor. For an externally managed trust it also covers the responsible entity and the compliance committee.
2. The Chapter 19 definitions of those roles were not opened. The lawyer reads them before the announcement goes.
3. The extract states no form number. The record does not invent one.
4. The lawyer writes the announcement. A director's interest notice is a separate task.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
- Guidance Note 27 was not opened.
