Regulation 17

If an applicant who seeks to satisfy Article 19(4)(a), (b) or (c) in relation to his or her service in an entity does not submit any financial statements for any period of service that is relevant to his or her application, the applicant must give a personal assurance for that period.

The personal assurance must state that nothing has occurred during that period that may adversely affect the financial position and financial performance of the entity in a way that is material to the application.

An applicant who seeks to satisfy Article 19(4)(a), (b) or (c) must explain any failure to submit any statement, document or information required by regulation 14, 15 or 16.

The provision of a personal assurance or explanation under this regulation does not affect the Committee’s power to reject an application on the ground that any required statement, document or information was not submitted.
