4. Retention of separate accounts for telecommunications services

1)Every licensee must keep separate accounts for its telecommunications services.

2)The accounts must be kept separate to the extend that would be required if the telecommunications activities in question were carried out by legally independent companies, so as to identify all elements of cost and revenue, with the basis of their calculation and the detailed attribution methods used.[The word “extend’ should be “extent”.]

5. Submission of audited annual financial reports

1)Every licensee must, within 6 months after the end of such licensee’s financial year, submit his or her annual audited financial statements to the Authority.

6. Submission of annual audited segmentation reports

1)Every licensee must submit to the authority an annual revenue and expense segmentation report, as indicated in Appendix “A” to this regulations.[The word “this should be “these”.]

2)The segmentation report must capture data by financial year-end and by every quarter. This allows for the comparison of data from operators with varying financial years.

3)The segmentation report must be submitted not later than six (6) months after the end of a financial year. In order to safeguard reliable indicators and monitoring of sector performance, the segmentation report must be compared to the annual report.

4)Restatements of previous annual reports must be reflected in a resubmission of the segmentation report as well.

5)The sums of the quarters add up to the financial year, and the segmentation report and audited annual financial statements must also match up as far as possible. Some of the items in the segmentation report may not be applicable to a licensee and may be indicated in the report as such.

7. Submission of bi-annual reports

1)Every licensee must submit a bi-annual report as required in Appendix “B” of these regulations.

2)The report shall be submitted on or before the last day of the months of July and January of the following year respectively and should indicate the value at the end of June and December, respectively.

3)The data collected is for monitoring developments in the sector and to supply indicators to the ITU. The links to ITU indicators are specified in the tables contained in Appendix “C”.

8. Submission of detailed network data report

1)Every licensee must submit the bi-annual report on detailed network data as required in Appendix “B” of these regulations, which comprises reporting on base stations (BTS) and points of presence (POPs).

2)The reports shall be submitted on or before the last day of the months of July and January of the following year respectively and should indicate the value at the end of June and December, respectively.

9. Submission of ad hoc reports

1)In addition to the specific reports that must be submitted in these regulations, the Authority may request, from licensees, ad hoc reports that are necessary or expedient in order to implement the provisions of the Act.

10. Condonation

1)In the event a licensee is unable to comply with any time period set out in these regulations, it may request from the Authority an extension of at least seven (7) days prior to the time set out or within such other time period agreed by the Authority upon good cause shown. The licensee must apply at least 14 days before the deadline for submission of the required reports to the Authority.

2)The Authority will respond to the request for condonation as soon as practicable, and may either grant or deny the request, in its sole discretion, based on, among other things, the nature of the proceeding and the reasons for non-compliance with the time set out.

11. Reporting procedures

1)Subject to the provisions of section 27 and 28 of the Act, the Authority may publish cost accounting information in any form or format that it deems reasonably appropriate.

2)The Authority may consider information not timeously filed if, in its opinion, it is practicable to do so.

3)The Authority may investigate the cost accounting reporting and record keeping procedures of a licensee.

4)Licensees shall submit any additional information requested by the Authority to verify or clarify cost accounting information within thirty (30 days) from receiving the request from the Authority.

5)All licensees must retain cost accounting data and related records for a minimum of twelve (12) months after the end of the reporting period, or for a time period as may be directed by the Authority.

12. Failure to submit information
