APEGA is responsible for holding registrants and permit holders accountable for any unskilled practice and unprofessional conduct. Our discipline process upholds professional standards and maintains public trust through the structured management of complaints and disciplinary actions. We introduced a six-month time frame for starting new disciplinary hearings and streamlined our scheduling process to expedite hearings while maintaining the same level of resources. The Discipline Committee heard six cases, four of which were completed, over a total of 13 hearing days. The average length of each hearing was 2.2 days. From complaints to hearings • Once the Investigative Committee determines that an initial complaint meets the criteria for a formal investigation, it can submit a recommended discipline order (RDO) to the Discipline Committee. • If the registrant or permit holder under investigation does not agree to the sanctions or the Discipline Committee does not accept the RDO, the matter proceeds to a discipline hearing, at which both parties present their cases. • In 2024, we published new information outlining the typical discipline hearing process on apega.ca . Commitment to transparency Transparency throughout the investigation and discipline processes instils public confidence in the accountability of our professions. Information about discipline decisions , the hearing process , and how to file a complaint is available on apega.ca. We publish names of registrants under interim suspension or with voluntary undertakings and dates of upcoming hearings. As of 2023, APEGA’s online directory indicates whether any registrants have been named in discipline decisions.
