  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nRegulation 2 amends regulation 6(1) of the Films (Certification) Regulations 2006 to provide that a report from an independent accountant is required only where an application for final certification of a film as a British film under Schedule 1 to the Films Act 1985 seeks to rely on points available in paragraphs 4A(5), 4B(5) or 4C(5) (principal photography and other areas of work carried out in the making of the film) or paragraphs 4A(6), 4B(6) or 4C(6) (personnel involved in the making of the film) of that Schedule.\nIn such cases, regulation 6(1) is also amended to provide that the report must verify the particulars mentioned in paragraphs 18 to 20 of the Schedule to these Regulations (information provided in order to assess whether any points should be awarded under the paragraphs mentioned above); and consequently it is no longer required to state, in the opinion of the person preparing the report, whether any points under paragraphs 4A(5), 4B(5) or 4C(5) should be awarded (principal photography and other areas of work carried out in the making of the film).\nRegulation 4 amends paragraph 20 of the Schedule to the Films (Certification) Regulations 2006 to require the applicant to provide information about the nationality or ordinary residence of persons mentioned in paragraphs 4A(5), 4B(5) or 4C(5).\nRegulation 3 also amends the transitional provision in regulation 7(2) of the Films (Certification) Regulations 2006 to make clear that in respect of applications for certification that fall to be determined in accordance with Schedule 1 to the Films Act 1985 as in force immediately before 1st April 2006, the Films (Certification) Regulations 1985 (No. 994) continue to have effect as if the Films (Certification) (Amendment) Regulations 2006 (No. 642) and the Films (Certification) Regulations 2006 had not been made.",
