128. Employers considered to be one and the same employer for the purposes of retrospective adjustment of the assessment for a given year must provide, prior to 1 March of the following year, a certificate from an outside auditor attesting to the composition of the group, to the parent company or partnership’s control of its subsidiaries during the assessment year, and to any change in the group having occurred during that year.
If the employers fail to file the certificate referred to in the first paragraph within the prescribed time, the Commission appoints an auditor for the purpose of providing the certificate.
The expenses incurred by the Commission for that purpose are apportioned prorata among the employers of the group according to the insurable wages paid for the assessment year to the workers of each employer and are added to the elements taken into account in determining the adjusted assessment of each employer in accordance with section 107.
