## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Record the licence and registration documents on the file, and leave engagement to the lawyer.

- What the AI does: From the documents the lawyer supplies, record whether a FIFA licence, a Football Australia registration form, and a lodged working-with-children check or the jurisdictional equivalent are on the file, and the date of each. Do not decide that the agent may be engaged.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether the agent is licensed and registered, whether reasonable endeavours to verify were made, and whether a change was notified in time. State and territory check schemes are not described.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a grievance determination.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Check each document date against the document named in the row.
2. Confirm the row does not say the agent is eligible or that the engagement may proceed.
3. Confirm no state or territory check scheme has been described.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
- FIFA Football Agent Regulations articles 11 to 14 and 16 to 21 were incorporated by the schedule and were not opened. The text after Schedule 3 item 1.3(d) was not used.
