Penalties and official sources

⚠ Penalties for non-compliance

ASAI itself has no direct fining power but rulings are public and binding on members. The CCPC (Competition and Consumer Protection Commission) has statutory power under the Consumer Protection Act 2007 to issue compliance notices, impose administrative fines, and initiate criminal proceedings against brands and influencers for misleading commercial practices. ASAI's 2024 guidance places the primary responsibility for disclosure on the advertiser, not the creator.
