  (b)   if the person is not a body corporate--the functions that may be performed, and the powers that may be exercised, by anyone appointed under a Commonwealth law to act as the person in that primary capacity;

are taken to include the functions and powers of the Data Recipient Accreditor while the person is the Data Recipient Accreditor.

  (4)   If:

  (a)   a person is the Data Recipient Accreditor at any time during a period; and

  (b)   an annual report for the period is prepared under section   46 of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013 :

  (i)   by the person in the person's primary capacity; or

  (ii)   about the person in the person's primary capacity;

the annual report must include information about the performance of the Data Recipient Accreditor's functions, and the exercise of the Data Recipient Accreditor's powers, at that time.
