Compliance policies and guidelines

The compliance team carries out a range of activities to make sure companies are meeting the strict conditions placed on their projects. This includes:

• carrying out spot checks and unannounced visits to projects, including surveillance;
• carrying out audits;
• meetings with the community and industry to understand issues; and
• investigating complaints.

If a company is found to have breached its conditions, our compliance officers take enforcement and other actions including:

• prosecution for the most serious offences;
• issuing fines;
• issuing official cautions; and
• negotiating practical solutions

Our compliance policy and associated guidelines provide information about how we go about our work and help to guide the work of our compliance officers.
