What happens if the reviewer or auditor resigns, or the club wants to remove them?

Resignation: a reviewer or auditor can resign at any time by written notice. The association must lodge a notification with Consumer Protection within 14 days.

Removal: members must pass a resolution at a general meeting, and:

1. Written notice of the intended motion goes to all members at least two months before the meeting.
2. A copy of the notice goes to the auditor or reviewer and to the Commissioner.
3. The auditor or reviewer has 30 days from receiving the notice to make a written submission to the committee.
4. If a submission arrives, the committee must give every member a copy at least seven days before the meeting.
5. The auditor or reviewer may attend the meeting and speak before any vote.

If these steps are not completed, the removal resolution has no effect.

Rights while in office: the auditor or reviewer receives all notices about general meetings, may attend any general meeting and may be heard on business relating to their role.
