  • Not hidden in a hashtag wall at the end

⚠ 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.

ASAI Code + Consumer Protection Act 2007 (CCPC enforcement)

ASAI / CCPC · 2024

Primary responsibility for disclosure rests with the advertiser per ASAI's 2024 guidance. The CCPC has statutory power to impose administrative fines and initiate criminal proceedings for breaches of consumer-protection law.
