All information provided by an ADI under this Reporting Standard must be subject to processes and controls developed by the ADI for the internal review and authorisation of that information. These systems, processes and controls are to assure the completeness and reliability of the information provided.\n\nNote: for the avoidance of doubt, paragraph 10 of this Reporting Standard does not limit the requirements of paragraph 12 of this Reporting Standard.\n\nAuthorisation\n\n13.
