CORRECTION TO THE

 

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

 

 

 

CLAUSE 62  

 

Second line - insert “Greenhouse and energy auditing is a relatively new, but growing, industry, with limited certification options for auditors. Industry stakeholders have indicated, however, that there will be increased interest in the future for the provision of third party certification of greenhouse and energy auditors similar to that already available for other auditing professions. This subsection allows for the GEDO to delegate the administration of registered greenhouse and energy auditors to a third party certification body in the future if appropriate industry self-regulation becomes available. If those circumstances do eventuate and a wider delegation is required, specific guidance or criteria about to whom the wider delegation could apply will be provided by the GEDO. The GEDO does not currently intend to delegate the decision making functions to anyone other than SES officers or acting SES officers.”
