Vague Inspection Powers Create Uncertainty

The Authority can appoint inspectors with undefined monitoring functions "prescribed by the Authority or the Minister" and enter premises without specified procedural safeguards, notice requirements, or frequency limits. For digital innovators, this creates operational unpredictability—companies cannot plan for regulatory interactions or allocate resources efficiently between innovation and compliance. The discretionary audit timing ("within periods to be determined by the Authority") compounds this uncertainty, particularly burdening startups and smaller tech companies that lack dedicated compliance infrastructure.
