What are the consequences if an investigated person does not comply with the EGP Act?

The consequences for not complying with the EGP Act can indeed lead to findings of unprofessional conduct, particularly if the breach is deemed serious. This aligns with the framework of the EGP Act, which is designed to ensure standards of conduct and professional accountability. When an individual fails to comply, it signals a disregard for professional regulations, which can result in implications for their professional standing.

In many professional regulatory environments, serious breaches of compliance can trigger investigations and disciplinary actions, which may include finding the individual engaged in unprofessional conduct. This serves to uphold the integrity of the profession and protect public interest by addressing serious violations.

While there may be other potential repercussions for non-compliance, such as temporary disciplinary measures or restrictions, the focus here is on the connection between serious breaches and findings of unprofessional conduct, which reflects the mechanisms in place to ensure accountability among professionals.
