Position and Consultation Paper 4: Industry Codes No. Position Comment 1. The content of and governance arrangements for relevant codes (those that cover activities specified by ASIC as requiring code coverage) should be subject to approval by ASIC. The Taskforce identified as a key issue that codes are not currently required to be approved by ASIC and are not subject to minimum consumer protections and enforcement standards. The Taskforce acknowledges that this will involve costs, time and complexity, and will require that the relevant industry sector has the capacity to develop a code that can be approved by ASIC. ASIC should revise RG 183 to include base level service standards (rather than ‘best practice’), administration by an incorporated …show more content…
Approved codes should be binding on and enforceable against subscribers by contractual arrangements with a code monitoring body. The Taskforce supports a co-regulatory model under which industry participants would be required to subscribe to an ASIC approved code that would be binding and enforceable. 4. An individual customer should be able to seek appropriate redress through the subscriber’s internal and external dispute resolution arrangements for non-compliance with an applicable approved code. Codes should expressly provide that a subscriber’s failure to comply with the code is to be taken into account in resolving disputes with individual customers through the subscriber’s IDR and EDR, on the basis that compliance with the code by subscribers is expected (rather than optional or aspirational). 5. The code monitoring body, comprising a mix of industry, consumer and expert members, should monitor the adequacy of the code and industry compliance with it over time, and periodically report to ASIC on these matters. The content of the code would remain a matter for industry to determine consistent with the broad criteria set by ASIC.

Designated ‘interception agencies’ can seek warrants to intercept telecommunications (TI warrant) for the purpose of investigating specific offences that are defined as a ‘serious offence’ in the TIA Act. Among other things, interception agencies may communicate TI material to specified agencies (recipient agency) if the material appears to relate to a matter that could be investigated by the recipient agency. The recipient agency may generally use the TI material for investigations and prosecutions of ‘relevant offences’ within its jurisdiction. ASIC is not an interception agency or a recipient agency under the TIA Act. The Taskforce has conducted preliminary analysis of the issues relating to the TIA Act regime outlined above and has developed the following preliminary position: Position 1: ASIC should be able to receive TI material to investigate and prosecute serious
The compliance plan should include a code of conduct. By establishing a code of conduct, the organization establishes a commitment to ethical and accurate coding practices that will follow all regulatory guidelines set forth.
The Uniform Commercial Code (for now on UCC), was first drafted in the early 50’s, and was a reunion of many laws pertaining commercial transactions, usage of trade, rules of performance, aspects of commercial formation and default, and dispute resolutions. It provides uniform law among the various jurisdictions, although each jurisdiction will choose the best way to apply it to each state.
For M2, I will analyse how consumers are protected in breach of contract of law for supply and sales of good or service by legislation like Sales of Good act 1979 which imposes responsibility to the seller to make sure products are good quality. Also, I will be explaining the limitation of this legislation in protecting customers from defected products.
...d practice standards, conduct training and education, and respond appropriately to correct errors. Even though there are numerous problems in the coding and billing process, if the appropriate steps are followed and carefully reviewed then most of the coding and billing errors can be avoided (Valerius, Bayes, Newby, & Seggern, 2008).
When the initial time and place of the interview is in place, I will mark it down on the calendar. Everything must be neatly organized and confidential documents need to be kept out of sight of clients.

DQ2. MACRA – Opportunities and Challenges - Analyze the new MACRA requirements in terms of the opportunities and challenges for HCOs as they work to comply. What are the positive/negative impacts and issues that arise? What do you think will be the most difficult challenge going forward? How can HCOs realize benefits from the MACRA mandate?
Its main role is to protect the public through the regulation of its registrants as well as “developing a sustainable organisation that minimises the negative impacts and maximises the positive.” These negative impacts are kept to a minimum by a series of different standards being set. Each registrant within the HCPC must meet these standards to avoid investigation.
Business must ensure that they are up to date with the current laws and that they
This new standard represents a signification milestone in the convergence process and how revenue is not recognized. Instead of trying to match costs and revenues or determine when revenue is “earned” the new standards focus on performance and control. (use PwC info)

I was very excited to have healthcare as the topic for my groups presentation, I’ve personally never had to deal with the logistics of healthcare or even needed to know how it worked. If I was sick I would go to the hospital or see a doctor and as long as they took my insurance, we were good to go. When we first started thinking about our topic as a group and the elements we wanted to add, we asked ourselves this: “What have we heard about healthcare but know nothing about?” the result was three main categories Medicare, Medicaid, and Obamacare. We assumed that as a group if we knew little about these topics, then there was a good chance no one in the class did either. Some of the things I found most interesting during the process of creating
