Illustration for Financial Reporting Act 2013

When you read sections 22 to 26, you need to know what some words mean. The word "amendment" means a change to a standard or an authoritative notice. The word "personal information" has the same meaning as in section 7(1) of the Privacy Act 2020.

You also need to know what "Privacy Commissioner" means, it has the same meaning as Commissioner in section 7(1) of the Privacy Act 2020. The word "revocation" means a standard or an authoritative notice is cancelled, or a change to one of these is cancelled.

These meanings are important to understand when you read the next sections.
