65: Chief executive may enter into agreements for auditing certain information

You could also call this:

“The boss can ask someone to check if people are paying the building money correctly”

The chief executive can make agreements with people to help check if the building levy has been paid correctly. These agreements let the other person act as the chief executive’s helper to look into levy payments.

If you have one of these agreements with the chief executive, you can look at the same information the chief executive can see about levy payments. But you can only do this while your agreement is active.

The information you can look at is the same as what’s described in sections 63 and 64. These sections talk about what kind of information the chief executive is allowed to see when checking on levy payments.
