include the information prescribed by regulation, to the extent of the person’s knowledge.
The person is not required to give a report about a matter if—
giving the report might tend to incriminate the person; or
the person knows, or reasonably supposes, that the chief executive is aware of the matter.
A regulation may prescribe the way the report must be given.
