(i) is a registered company auditor; and

(ii) has sufficient personal knowledge of the person's work to be able to give that verification; and


(b) the standard, or the standard as proposed to be varied, is not inconsistent with this Act or any other law of the Commonwealth under which ASIC has regulatory responsibilities; and
