13  Auditing of compliance with these Rules
(1)     This section applies to a retail carriage service provider that is or was a qualifying carriage service provider for a record-keeping period.
(2)     Subject to subsection (5), the ACMA may, in accordance with subsection (3) or (4), by written notice given to the retail carriage service provider, require the provider to engage, at its own cost, an external auditor to audit the compliance of the provider with these Rules.
(3)     The ACMA may require the retail carriage service provider to obtain one initial audit in respect of one or more record-keeping periods specified by the ACMA in respect of which the provider was required to give a complaints report to the ACMA under subsection 12(1).
(4)     The ACMA may require the retail carriage service provider to obtain one follow-up audit in respect of each initial audit required under subsection (3) if the ACMA forms a view on reasonable grounds that the initial audit is inadequate.
(5)     The ACMA may only require an audit under section (2) if it forms a view on reasonable grounds that an audit is necessary.
