A fundamental function of our regulation activity is the ongoing monitoring of regulated companies’ compliance with the licence obligations under which they operate. It is common practice for regulators to report publicly on the compliance and enforcement activity they have undertaken throughout the year alongside the annual compliance record of the licensees they regulate.
As such we have developed and are proposing to implement an external reporting framework that provides insights into the compliance monitoring and enforcement activity we have undertaken across the previous calendar year.
We are seeking stakeholders’ views on certain aspects of our external Compliance and Enforcement Annual Report to ensure the content of the report is fit for purpose and enhances wider market understanding and development in the consumer interest.
Following assessment of the consultation responses, we aim to publish our decision paper and our first Compliance and Enforcement Annual Report in October 2026 and annually thereafter.

Copies of all documents can be made available in large print, Braille, audio cassette and a variety of relevant minority languages if required.
