RICS Regulation is responsible for taking appropriate action in cases where RICS members or firms fall short of the standard expected of them.

RICS' disciplinary rules contain a range of sanctions against members and firms, including:

• fixed penalty notices such as fines for late returns
• consent orders through which a firm or member agrees with RICS how to put a problem right 
• disciplinary penalties up to and including expulsion from RICS in the most serious cases 

Notification of forthcoming public disciplinary hearings and details of previous findings against members and firms are publicly listed in our Conduct Cases channel.
