Notifiable matters

As a condition of accreditation, an accredited exporter is required to notify WEA if an event occurs or the exporter’s circumstances change, such that it could have a material impact upon the accreditation - this is known as a notifiable matter.

If the event or circumstance is a ground on which WEA could cancel an accreditation or is likely to result in the conclusion that the exporter is no longer 'fit and proper' under the Scheme it must be reported to WEA as a notifiable matter.

The report must be submitted to WEA within 14 days after the occurrence of the event or the circumstance came into existence.

Example of a notifiable matter: breach of a financial covenant.

Notice to Accredited Exporters

Guidelines for Notifiable Matters - If an exporter has any doubts about whether an event or circumstance would be considered a notifiable matter, the exporter should contact WEA immediately. It is the responsibility of accredited exporters, not WEA, to track and report on notifiable matters.

The report of a notifiable matter must be completed on the Report about Notifiable Matter Form.
