The strongest new records establish that ICMEC US stopped controlling its Australian affiliate on 6July2023, with a substantial donor-restricted resource position removed from the consolidated accounts. Separately, Westpac explicitly identifies the original grant as AUD25million and reports a later two-year extension. Those findings strengthen the history and funding-purpose chain. They still do not supply the Australian grant agreement, permission rights, final term dates, donor-specific ledger allocations or current standalone Australian accounts.
[Australian Business Register, ABN86645682828](http[local research file] identifies INTERNATIONAL CENTRE FOR MISSING & EXPLOITED CHILDREN, AUSTRALIA LTD, an Australian public company, active from5November2020, ACN645682828. It records business name Global Centre For Child Protection from3July2026 under the same ABN. That is an additional trading-name selector, not evidence of a newly created charity or changed legal entity. The current register also dates DGR endorsement to22March2024. These are registry classifications, not findings about individual donations.
The [2023 ICMEC consolidated financial statements](http[local research file] Note1, say the US body created the Australian company inNovember2020 and ceased being its sole member on6July2023. Note8, PDFp17/printed16, separately states it no longer controls Australia. “No longer sole member” does not establish complete withdrawal from membership. The former affiliate's late2021 operational-establishment account is compatible with earlier legal incorporation.
The same audit's Note8 removes USD13,519,626 net assets from consolidation. Components include cash4,131,064, investments3,337,000 and grants/contributions receivable6,359,338, plus other assets and liabilities. ExhibitB, PDFp7/printed6, records the deconsolidation entry as +1,408,807 without donor restrictions; −14,928,433 with donor restrictions; −13,519,626 total. These are accounting removals, not a new grant or bank transfer. The receivable is not assigned to Westpac by the note. The entry is not a present Australian solvency assessment.
The auditor's report, PDFp3/printed2, explicitly relies on another auditor's Australian financial statements for the period ended6July2023, with additional conversion procedures. This identifies a specific underlying record that exists; that component report was not obtained here. The [2022 consolidated statements](http[local research file] PDFpp9–10/printed8–9, explain the former consolidation basis and translation of Australian financial statements into US dollars. Do not compare these USD balances directly with AUD25million. Their programme-restricted aggregate is for the then-consolidated group, not a Westpac-specific Australian grant schedule.
[Westpac FY21 Modern Slavery Statement](http[local research file] expressly labels the award $25million(AUD). Currency is now directly documented for the original award, upgrading the earlier context-based inference. PDFp21/printed20 describes a three-year grant, managed by ICMEC, for designing, building, deploying and maintaining a platform and analytical tools using cross-industry data. This is the bank's stated grant purpose; the executed instrument's enforceable restrictions remain unavailable. The passage relates the programme to possible remediation following AUSTRAC's2019 allegations, rather than describing a court order requiring this charity payment.
[Westpac2024 Modern Slavery Statement](http[local research file] says the initially three-year AUD25million partnership was extended for an additional two years during the reporting year. It does not announce another AUD25million or state a new payment schedule. PDFp17/printed16 also describes a four-year relationship to that point. An extension is therefore documented, but the full contractual chronology is not resolved by simple addition.
The [current programme page](http[local research file] still describes the three-year grant and priorFY20 scoping. It is undated historical programme copy on a currently accessible page. The retained [2024 Safer Children report](http[local research file] describes a six-year commitment/partnership. Preserve each source period and the now-known extension. Possible explanations include scoping versus award clocks, changed delivery periods, later changes, or stale/inconsistent summaries; none is selected as fact. The signed initial agreement and amendments can distinguish them.
The bank's stated grant purpose now explicitly reaches platform construction and maintenance. It does not identify Kablamo, a licence, a hosting charge, a software-capitalisation balance or a SaferAI policy allocation. No identifiable Lighthouse/Kablamo expense line was recovered in the acquired financial statements. The USD20,699 fixed-asset balance at deconsolidation cannot be renamed Lighthouse software. Later Australian operating expenses are outside the US consolidation perimeter.
The strongest rival to funder-directed policy is a restricted technical-capacity grant supporting an operationally independent recipient, with programme development and later advocacy chosen under the recipient's governance. Donor selection and renewal dependence can coexist with that explanation. A competing donor-direction model predicts actual reserved approvals, conditions, intervention correspondence or allocation-linked deliverables. This pass recovered a stated technical purpose and an extension, not those decision rights.
Public search located the exact [ACNC profile](http[local research file] and [AIS2024 record](http[local research file] Their search/web-reader shells establish titles/locators only; the financial contents were not read. Ordinary GETs each timed out after40seconds. One public-browser fallback then returned this exact refusal:
Browser Use could not complete this action because a browser security check was unavailable. Reason: The admin-enforced policy could not be verified, so access was not granted. Browser use could not verify the admin-enforced policy before accessing http[local research file] This failure may be temporary. The agent may retry after the issue is resolved, but must not bypass browser security controls or use an indirect workaround.
This is a browser admin-policy verification failure, not an automatic approval review rejection or a financial-report absence. All ACNC retrieval stopped; no indirect workaround was attempted. The independently published US audits are substitutes for their particular disclosures, not ACNC or standalone Australian filings. An independently attempted Australian governance URL returned404; its cached search description is not treated as a live constitution. No repeat route was attempted.
Read scope: ABN live entity/business-name/tax-status fields; FY21 statement PDFpp5/21; FY24 statement PDFpp17/28; current Westpac ICMEC subsection; US2023 audit PDFpp3,7,9–17 at the organisation, conversion, restriction and deconsolidation passages; US2022 component-audit, consolidation, currency and restriction notes. These are not exhaustive audits of the financial statements or the programmes. Key FY21 currency and US2023 tables were visually checked. Other captured text is available but should not be imported as wholly reviewed.
The highest-value specific financial record is the Australian component financial statements and auditor report for the period ended6July2023, expressly identified by the US audit. The Australian finance/board custodian and the consolidating auditor received or hold that record. It can reveal the Australian grant receivable, restrictions and accounting transition without inventing a cash transfer. Subsequent standalone Australian statements and the publicly lodged AIS attachments, if available after the access restriction clears, can extend the picture into Lighthouse's operating period.
The executed Westpac–ICMEC grant, FY24 extension and any novation associated with the2023 separation should identify legal grantee(s), start/end dates, drawdowns, remaining promises, reporting, permitted costs, clawback, termination and renewal rights. Likely holders are Westpac's programme/legal records custodian and the relevant ICMEC finance/legal archives. A novation is a candidate record, not a document proved to exist merely because control changed.
To join funding to the technology, obtain the Australian project ledger, intangible-asset register, contract and maintenance invoices with donor/project codes. They would distinguish grant-funded development, ordinary operating support and a separately financed service, and permit a legitimate comparison with the vendor's public account. A supplier statement alone cannot allocate an expense.
Finally, the membership register, constitutional amendments and member/board resolutions effective6July2023 can specify who obtained or retained membership and appointment rights. The audit proves changed sole-membership/control status; it does not name the replacement members. These records are likely held by the Australian company secretary and the US former-parent archive. No holder requests have been sent.
