Gould, S.

Professional regulation: the facts explained - 2004 - RICS Business April 2004, 12-13(2) .

Explains the framework of self-regulation practised by RICS in the context of developments in the regulatory environment of the professions, such as the recent review of the legal sector introduced by government. Describes what being a chartered body such as RICS means and reviews RICS efforts to make its rules, procedures and approach to compliance mirror government's understanding of best regulatory practice in the public interest. Outlines the benefits of self-regulation to RICS members and the areas of activity covered by regulation. Concludes that RICS is more than the sum of its members and that where members fall foul of the regulatory regime, RICS will always act in the public interest.
