What action may the Registrar take if a licensee fails to inform about a disassociation within the required timeframe?

If a licensee fails to inform the Registrar about a disassociation within the required timeframe, the Registrar may choose to suspend the license. The reason behind this is that timely reporting of disassociation is a responsibility that licensees must uphold to maintain transparency and compliance within their professional conduct. When a licensee does not fulfill this obligation, it can indicate negligence or non-compliance with regulatory requirements, which reflects poorly on the integrity of the licensee's practice.

Suspension serves as a corrective action aimed at enforcing compliance and ensuring that all practitioners adhere to the necessary regulations for the protection of the public. This action allows the licensee an opportunity to address the issue and rectify their reporting practices while also upholding the standards expected within the profession.

The other actions mentioned, such as fining, investigating, or revoking the license, may be relevant under different circumstances or violations but are not the immediate or direct measures that would be taken specifically for failing to meet the reporting timeframe regarding disassociation.
