Compliance and Enforcement Proceedings
Compliance and enforcement proceedings are processes used by authorities to ensure that laws and regulations are followed. When individuals or organizations fail to comply with legal standards, enforcement actions can be taken, such as fines, penalties, or legal action. These proceedings involve investigations, hearings, and the opportunity for the accused to respond. The goal is to uphold the law, correct non-compliance, and deter future violations. Essentially, it's a way for regulators to maintain order and protect public interests by addressing misconduct effectively.
