Section 87B of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 (CCA) gives the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) the ability to accept written undertakings when it believes that a breach has occurred, or is likely to occur and that a resolution based on Enforceable Undertakings offers the best solution.
A key requirement of companies and organisations entering into an Enforceable Undertaking is the requirement to implement a compliance program that is monitored through an Independent Audit.
RSM provides ACCC undertaking audit services and has been engaged as the independent auditor for numerous ACCC undertaking audit engagements from 2006 to date.
We have developed a strong appreciation of the ACCC’s expectations in relation to the conduct and reporting of these audits.
