12.Specific control objectives

(a)the relevant business can be carried on in an orderly and efficient manner;
(b)financial and other information used or provided by the provider will be reliable; and
(c)all applicable laws are complied with.

 

13.Insurance

 

A provider, excluding a representative, must, if, and to the extent, required by the registrar maintain in force suitable guarantees or professional indemnity or fidelity insurance cover.
