Reports & due diligence · Defined
Assessment limitations
The boundaries and constraints affecting an assessment, including agreed exclusions, inaccessible areas, missing records, and the nature of the methods used.
Why it matters
Useful limitations are specific enough to explain how conclusions should be read. They are not interchangeable with a finding that a condition is satisfactory.
In practice
A project example
A roof concealed by snow is identified as unobserved rather than described as free of defects.
