Reporting Requirements for Accredited Certificate Providers (ACPs)
Where stated as a condition of accreditation in the Accreditation Notice, an ACP
must provide to the Scheme Administrator an annual written report by no later than
the end of the Quarter stipulated in the Accreditation Notice, confirming:
1. that the Accredited RESA is still fully operating in the manner indicated in the
ACP's Application for accreditation;
2. that the characteristics and details of the Accredited RESA are not materially
different from the characteristics and details identified in the ACP’s Application
for accreditation; and
3. the number of ESCs created in respect of the Accredited RESA that occurred in the
previous calendar year and current calendar year (to date) with supporting
calculations.
In addition, the Act, Regulations, Rule, and Accreditation Notice contain further
provisions in relation to providing information to the Scheme Administrator, to assist
it in monitoring the compliance of an ACP with the Scheme.
To assist ACPs in preparing their annual written report, the Scheme Administrator
has developed this Annual Report Statement. ACPs are to submit their annual
written report on this form.
Reporting Period for Accredited Certificate Providers
The first Annual Report Statement must cover the period from the Entitlement Date
(in Item 2(d) of the Schedule to the Accreditation Notice) to the end of the period
identified in Item 3 (b) of the Schedule to the Accreditation Notice (inclusive).
In subsequent years, the Annual Report Statement must then cover the next 12
month period following on from the last reporting period, for all Accredited RESA
related information.
Please contact the Scheme Administrator if you are uncertain about the reporting
period for your first, or subsequent, Annual Report Statements.
Annexes to be completed
Each accredited RESA that comprises the accreditation must have its own separate
Annex completed. For example, if an ACP is accredited in respect of two RESAs, it
must complete Annex 1 in respect of its first RESA (refer Schedule 1 of the
Accreditation Notice) and Annex 2 in respect of the second RESA (refer Schedule 2 of
the Accreditation Notice). The Annual Report Statement makes allowance for up to 6
Annexes (or RESAs).
Please delete any Annexes that are not required for the purposes of your Annual
Report Statement.

Notes:

For Commercial Lighting Energy Savings Formula RESAs please provide the latest
Quarterly Report summarising all your activities to date

All calculations should be based on the time period used to create ESCs. For example, if
ESCs have been created on a monthly or annual basis, the spreadsheet model should
demonstrate that the calculation methodology is being appropriately applied on inputs for
that monthly or annual measurement period

All relevant inputs (eg total monthly MWh figures) must be clearly identified

All relevant Factors used (default and/or approved) must be clearly identified

All relevant Equations used must be clearly identified

All relevant Methods used must be clearly identified

ESC totals should be readily identifiable

Calculations for Reporting Period
If the RESA is accredited under the Project Impact Assessment Method (PIAM), is
it also accredited to forward create ESCs under clause 7.4 of the Scheme Rule?
Yes
and forward creation is for the period <Insert here > to <Insert here >
Note: If further breakdown on the forward creation period above is required,
please attach the relevant information as an appendix to this annual report
statement.
No
ie accredited for PIAM, but no forward creation is allowed.
N/A
ie another Rule methodology is used other than PIAM.
Is it a condition of the accreditation that ESC creation for this RESA must be
audited annually?
Yes
If ESCs have been created since the most recent annual audit period (defined in
the Accreditation Notice), please attach hardcopy ESC calculation spreadsheets
for the ESCs subsequently created (to date). Otherwise, you are not required to
attach ESC calculations spreadsheets for the actual audited period, as copies of
these should have accompanied your annual ESC creation audit report to the
Scheme Administrator.
No
Please attach a hardcopy and softcopy summary spreadsheet model of ESC
creation calculations (as per the guidance point below), for the period(s) of:
 the entire previous calendar year, and
 the current year to date (if applicable).
Guidance Point 1: Calculations for the reporting period
Where calculations are required to be submitted, please attach a copy of your summary
spreadsheet model (with an accompanying electronic copy) clearly identifying all inputs and
elements of the calculation methodology used in creating the number of ESCs (for the calendar
year period identified on the front page of this Annual Report Statement).
