The Standards and Regulation Board (SRB) has authority to create Rules and Policy in regard to:
- Registration of Members and Firms on regulatory schemes
- Regulatory Support (including regulatory schemes)
- Investigation and Disciplinary Process
- Readmission following disciplinary expulsion
Rules are revised and updated as necessary to enable more effective and proactive management of RICS' regulatory procedures, including Disciplinary, Registration and Appeal Panel cases. Updated rules are accompanied by a Practice Direction, to encourage compliance with case management directions and improve timetabling towards hearings.
Rules and guidance support each of these areas and can be found on this page.
