Don't

If you need to ask on here, you're way out of your comfort zone.

And

Don't you like to be challenged sometimes?

Why the need for a response like that?

To offer the best possible advice to the OP.

 

I don't like to be challenged that much.

Building Societies are a highly regulated, highly specialized area.  You can't be doing Building Society audits on the basis of training on an internet forum.

I'm amazed that anyone would see that as unreasonable.

I wouldn't waste my time even trying to give a helpful answer. The question is probably redundant like this one was:

He asked for tips

Not step by step instructions!

I gave him one. 

I still consider it good advice.  There are points where I back off and pass the baton.

Just ignore her Lion, she will go away. She was sensitive / angry / annoying yesterday on the Birmingham thread too.

Oh - OK. 

There are only about 200 building societies left.  I've still got a copy of the Gray's Building Society report.  I still glance through it every so often if I need a reminder about biting off more than I can chew.

I agree with lion

According to the Building Societies Association, there are now 44 building societies in the UK.

The smallest one has assets of £95 million!

Many years ago I used to be in charge of the audit of one of those. It is, as lion said, a highly regulated and specialised area. I would be very concerned at someone asking for tips on preparing building society accounts on a free internet forum.
