CHAPTER 3 - COMMONWEALTH COMPANIES  

PART 3-2 - AUDIT COMMITTEE FOR COMMONWEALTH COMPANIES  

SECTION 28  

28   AUDIT COMMITTEE FOR WHOLLY-OWNED COMMONWEALTH COMPANIES  

Guide to this section

The purpose of this section is to provide that the requirements in section 17 of this rule relating to audit committees of corporate Commonwealth entities also apply to audit committees of wholly-owned Commonwealth companies.

This section is made for section 92 of the Act.

28(1)    
Section 17 of this rule (which is about audit committees for Commonwealth entities) applies to a wholly-owned Commonwealth company in the same way as it applies to a corporate Commonwealth entity.

28(2)    
For the purposes of subsection (1) , a reference in section 17 to the accountable authority of the entity is taken to be a reference to the governing body of the company.
