249: Requirements for building consent accreditation body
or “Rules for checking if buildings are safe and follow the law”
You could also call this:

“A group that checks building permits can charge money for looking at how well permit offices do their job.”

If you are an accredited building consent authority, you might need to pay a fee for audits. A building consent accreditation body can charge you a fee that has been set by the government. This fee is for when they do an audit on your authority. The audit is done under section 249(a) of the Building Act 2004. The fee is only charged if the government has decided on a specific amount for these audits.
