Common use of Access by the Commonwealth Clause in Contracts

Access by the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth or its delegated representative may, for the purpose of monitoring compliance by DA with this Agreement and the Act, at reasonable times and on giving reasonable notice: access premises occupied by or under the control of DA; require the provision by DA of data, records, accounts and other financial material (in a data format and storage material accessible by the Commonwealth) and any property of the Commonwealth in the possession or under the control of DA, its officers, employees or agents; and inspect and copy documentation, books and records, however stored, in the possession or under the control of DA, its officers, employees, or agents. DA must co-operate fully with the Commonwealth or its delegated representative to enable them to exercise their rights under clause 4. The rights of the Commonwealth under clause 4.1 apply equally to the Auditor-General or a delegate of the Auditor-General, or the Australian Information Commissioner or a delegate of the Australian Information Commissioner, for the purpose of performing the Auditor-General's or Australian Information Commissioner's statutory functions or powers.
