An organization exercises reasonable diligence if it maintains reasonable routines for communicating significant information to the employee having responsibility to act and there is reasonable compliance with the routines. Reasonable diligence does not require an employee of the organization to communicate information unless the communication is part of the individual’s regular duties or the individual knows a matter that would be materially affected by the information.
