require the casino operator to appoint a person approved by the Authority as a special auditor to undertake an audit of the responsible gambling measures adopted by the casino operator for the purpose of ascertaining whether it is in compliance with the approved responsible gambling programme for the casino operator’s casino; and

(b)

specify the terms of reference for the audit referred to in sub-paragraph (a) and the time within which it must be completed.

A casino operator to whom a notice under paragraph (2) is issued shall, at its own expense, engage a person approved by the Authority as a special auditor to conduct the audit in accordance with the terms of reference and within the time specified in the notice.

Where a casino operator fails to comply with paragraph (3), the Authority may appoint a special auditor to undertake the audit and recover the cost of the audit from the casino operator.

A casino operator shall provide all reasonable assistance to a special auditor appointed or engaged under paragraph (1), (2) or (4), as the case may be.

Subregulation 6

The special auditor who is appointed or engaged to undertake the audit of the responsible gambling measures adopted by a casino operator shall submit his report, all relevant supporting documents and such other information or report as the Authority may specify in relation to the audit, to the Authority not later than 60 days after the conclusion of the audit or within such other period as the Authority may specify in any particular case.
