Condition 1: Corporate Monitoring and Accountability

For the first 3 years after registration, CITI must report to TEQSA within 60 days (unless otherwise agreed to in writing by a Director of TEQSA's regulatory operations team) if any of the following events occur, based on Board accepted management accounts as of 30 June and 31 December each year:

4. Any change (increase or decrease) in total shareholder funding (as forecasted annually) as compared to the projected amounts contained in the sensitised forecast.

Content of reports

1. be based on CITI's Board approved management accounts (which must be provided to TEQSA).
2. include a revised business plan, revised marketing strategy, revised financial and student projections.

Where the report covers an event described in:

4. condition (a), CITI must provide the actual figures for both the number of students enrolled and EFTSL compared to those projected in the sensitised forecast, as well as the budget period. This information must be approved by CITI's Board before it is provided to TEQSA; and
