1.4.30  Adjustments

     (1)                    If a HEP provides incorrect HERDC or HESDC data used to calculate the HEP's RTP Grant Amount for a Grant Year, the HEP must correct the information provided to the department ('corrected data'), provide supporting evidence that demonstrates the accuracy of the corrected data, and provide information on the causes of the incorrect data.

     (2)                    If the HEP provides corrected data and supporting evidence on or before 1 October in the year the data was first provided the department will take into account the corrected data when calculating grant amounts under paragraphs 1.4.5 or 1.4.15 (as applicable).

     (3)                    Subject to subparagraph 1.4.30(4), if a HEP provides either the corrected data or supporting evidence after 1 October in the year the data was first provided, the corrected data will not be used to calculate, or adjust, the HEP's Grant Amount for a Grant Year.

     (4)                    Where corrected data is provided in accordance with subparagraph 1.4.30(3), the department will use the method specified in paragraphs 1.4.5 or 1.4.15 (as applicable) to determine the Grant Amount the HEP would have been paid for the Grant Year if the corrected data had been used. If the department determines that a HEP has received an overpayment in respect of the Grant Year, the HEP must repay the amount of the overpayment to the department.
