- tell us if there are any material adverse changes to its development plans which might affect its financial position or reputation, in line with our notifiable events guidance.
What we will do
We will:
- review the development update and engage as necessary; and
- update our published engagement plan in the light of any material change to our planned engagement with Queens Cross.

- Annual Assurance Statement;
- audited financial statements and external auditor’s management letter;
