Fashionista invited Chartered Partners to nominate as auditor to Bling. Fashionista indicated that the audit fee for the group should not exceed 120% of the fee previously agreed for auditing the individual accounts of Fashionista.

Bling's chief executive was dismissed recently for allowing Bling to breach waste management laws. Bling received notice from the Environmental Protection Agency (the government regulatory body) that it is assessing the significance of the breach, which may incur sanctions and a financial penalty. The breach has been reported widely in the local media.

Required:

Explain the matters for Chartered Partners to consider before accepting the engagement to audit the financial statements of Bling.
