188: Monitoring and audit

You could also call this:

"Keeping an eye on special employers to make sure they follow the rules"

The Corporation must set up a programme to keep an eye on accredited employers. This programme might include checks on what these employers are doing. The checks are to make sure that the employers are following the rules set out in sections 181 to 189 and in their agreements with the Corporation. They also want to make sure that the employers are giving the Corporation correct and complete reports as they agreed to do.

When these checks are happening, the people doing them have to give certain people a chance to speak about the check. These people include representatives of the accredited employer and representatives of the employees who work for that employer. The employee representatives might be from a union that the employees belong to, as long as it's registered under the Employment Relations Act 2000.
