56CH Functions, powers and annual report

(1) The functions of the CDR Accreditor are:

(a) to accredit persons under subsection 56CA(1); and

(b) such other functions as are conferred by the consumer data rules.

(2) The CDR Accreditor has the power to do all other things necessary or convenient to be done for or in connection with the performance of the CDR Accreditor’s functions.

(a) the person’s functions and powers in their capacity other than as the CDR Accreditor (their primary capacity); and

(b) if the person is not a body corporate—the functions that may be performed, and the powers that may be exercised, by anyone appointed under a Commonwealth law to act as the person in that primary capacity;

are taken to include the functions and powers of the CDR Accreditor while the person is the CDR Accreditor.

(4) If:

(a) a person is the CDR Accreditor at any time during a period; and

(b) an annual report for the period is prepared under section 46 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013:

(i) by the person in the person’s primary capacity; or

(ii) about the person in the person’s primary capacity;

the annual report must include information about the performance of the CDR Accreditor’s functions, and the exercise of the CDR Accreditor’s powers, at that time.
