Note: Subsection 232(3) provides for when a compliance certificate under section 53 is taken not to be lodged with ASIC.  (3) If a document is lodged with ASIC, then any other material that is lodged with the document as required by this Act or an approved form is taken to be included in that document. Note: For example, this subsection means that a person will contravene section 225 if the person makes a false or misleading statement in the other material.
