Consistency

We strive for consistent enforcement, treating similar situations similarly to achieve compliance. This does not mean a one-size-fits-all approach. We consider factors beyond just risk and non-compliance, such as management attitude, incident history, and the impact of enforcement actions.

To ensure fair and consistent decisions, where necessary we rely on professional judgment, peer review, and collaboration with other regulators.

Where enforcement action conflicts with the requirements of other regulators we will work with them to resolve the differences, where possible. We are mindful of potential biases and proactively challenge to avoid them in our decision-making.
