The minimum report required is a review in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards as defined by regulation by the Board of Public Accountancy. The accountant performing the review shall examine to the extent necessary supporting documents and records, including the cash disbursements and related paid invoices to determine if expenditures were for the common interest community purposes and the billings, cash receipts, and related records to determine that the declarant was charged and paid the proper amounts of assessments.

(1) an independent registered engineer, architect, or land surveyor;
