(3) The responsible entity or responsible person who lodges the copy of the scheme insolvency resolution must prepare a report for each relevant period during the winding up and on the completion of the winding up, which includes the following information unless disclosure of that information would be prejudicial to the winding up: (a) information about the progress and status of the winding up of the scheme, including details (as applicable) of: (i) the actions taken during the period; and (ii) the actions required to complete the winding up; and (iii) the actions proposed to be taken in the next 12 months; and (iv) the expected time to complete the winding up; (b) financial information about receipts and payments for the scheme during the period; (c) the following information as at the end of the period: (i) the value of scheme property; and (ii) any potential return to scheme members.
