(b) activities engaged in outside Australia by registered entities are not contributing to terrorist, or other criminal, activities.
 (2) This Division achieves that object by setting up a system to allow the regulations to specify standards:
 (a) with which an entity must comply in order to become registered under this Act, and to remain entitled to be registered under this Act; and
 (b) regulating funds sent outside Australia by registered entities, and activities engaged in outside Australia by registered entities.
Note 1: The main consequence of failure to comply with these standards is a loss of the entity's entitlement to registration. Such a failure to comply may also result in enforcement action under Chapter 4.
Note 2: For the consequences of registration, see section 20‑5.
Note 3: A registered entity must notify the Commissioner of significant non‑compliance with these standards that results in the entity no longer being entitled to be registered (see section 65‑5).

50‑10  External conduct standards
 (1) The regulations may specify standards (the external conduct standards) with which an entity must comply in order to become registered under this Act, and to remain entitled to be registered under this Act.
 (2) Without limiting the scope of subsection (1), those standards may:
 (a) require the entity to ensure that its governing rules provide for a specified matter; or
 (b) require the entity to achieve specified outcomes and:
 (i) not specify how the entity is to achieve those outcomes; or
 (ii) specify principles as to how the entity is to achieve those outcomes; or
 (c) require the entity to establish and maintain processes for the purpose of ensuring specified matters.
 (2A) Without limiting subparagraph (2)(b)(ii), the principles mentioned in that subparagraph may reflect the size of the entity, the amount and nature of contributions to the entity and the nature of the activities undertaken by the entity in pursuit of its purposes.
 (3) However, the external conduct standards must deal only with:
 (a) matters external to Australia; or
 (b) matters not external to Australia but that are closely related to, or have or will have a significant impact on, entities, things or matters external to Australia.

50‑15  Consultation
 (1) Before the Governor‑General makes a regulation for the purposes of subsection 50‑10(1), the Minister must be satisfied that:
 (a) appropriate consultation has been undertaken with:
 (i) the not‑for‑profit sector (such as through entities that represent parts of the sector); and
 (ii) entities having expertise in fields relevant to the proposed regulation; and
 (iii) entities likely to be affected by the proposed regulation; and
 (iv) the Commissioner; and
 (b) relevant input received as part of that consultation has been taken into account adequately.
 (2) Without limiting, by implication, the form that
