Illustration for Legal Services Act 2011

If you are a provider or used to be one, you can commit an offence if you do not comply with a notice you got under section 92(3). You must follow what section 92(1) says so auditors can finish their examination or audit. If you do not comply and the auditors cannot finish, you can get a fine of up to $5,000.
