## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

The responsible lawyer reviews the work against the instructions, sources and intended use.

- What the AI does: From the board minutes, special resolutions, consents and the current Charity Register entry, list every notifiable change with its effective date, calculate the notification due date for the charity’s size, and populate the notification data for the Charity Portal from the firm’s validated sheet.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer confirms each change actually took effect on the date recorded under the governing document, confirms the charity’s size for the period, decides whether any matter is a significant breach that must be notified within 28 days, and confirms lodgement.
- 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. Confirm the charity’s size for the current reporting period before the due date is set.
2. Check each change against an executed resolution or consent, not a draft.
3. Decide separately whether any matter is a significant breach and record the decision.

## 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.
