What does Australia Privacy (Credit Reporting) Code 2025 require of a Auditor?
The binding code that particularises Part IIIA of the Privacy Act for Australia's credit reporting system: what credit providers must tell people at collection, how repayment history, hardship, default and serious credit infringement information must be calculated, notified and reported, the fraud ban and ban notification service, free access and credit ratings, the correction and complaints timetables, record keeping, and the credit reporting bodies' monitoring, audit, reporting and review duties.
