Financial Accountability Act 2009

A statutory body is an entity that—

is established under an Act; and

has control of funds; and

includes, or whose governing body includes, at least 1 member—

who is appointed under an Act by the Governor in Council or a Minister; or

whose appointment is approved by the Governor in Council or a Minister.

However, an entity is not a statutory body for this Act if it is—

a department; or

a part of a department as mentioned in section 8(3); or

a local government; or

an entity prescribed under another Act not to be a statutory body for this Act.

If an Act that establishes an entity states that the entity is a statutory body for this Act, the entity—

is a statutory body for this Act; and

is not part of a department for this Act despite section 8(3).
