Summary
The Immigration Advice Authority (IAA) has welcomed proposed amendments to the Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill that would expand its regulatory and enforcement powers. The changes, announced by the Home Office, would allow the IAA to impose fines up to £15,000 for compliance breaches, order refunds and compensation up to £250,000, and immediately suspend or cancel registrations of advisers posing serious risks. The IAA would also be able to take action against unregulated advisers, charge fees for services, and update the definition of regulated advice. All decisions would be subject to appeal. The IAA plans to consult stakeholders on implementation.
