Unpredictable Audits Burden Business Operations

The Authority can conduct audits and premises inspections "within periods to be determined by the Authority" with no advance notice requirements or frequency limits specified. This discretionary timing, combined with vague inspection powers for functions "prescribed by the Authority or the Minister", creates unpredictable compliance costs and operational disruptions. Businesses cannot plan resources or forecast expenses when facing undefined inspection scope and arbitrary audit schedules—particularly burdensome for smaller organizations lacking dedicated compliance staff.
