13.3  Auditing

(a)  The private party must provide to government upon request an audit report prepared by an independent auditor who has audited the KPI data and quarterly KPI reports at the end of a particular financial year. The government may also request an audit of the KPI data, quarterly KPI report or KPI assessment system at any time up to a year after the end of the Contract Term. In this latter case, government may appoint the independent auditor on its own terms and will bear the associated costs.

(b)  If either form of audit reveals inaccuracies in the KPI data or KPI quarterly report, the private party must:

(i)  rectify the inaccuracy and reissue the corrected data or report;

(ii)  advise government of any change to the KPI assessment system; and

(iii)  pay government any necessary adjustment to the KPI credit.53
