Compliance

Once the Accessible Information and Communication Standard is in force, Manitoba’s Accessibility Compliance Secretariat (opens in new tab) will conduct audits of policies and other documents related to accessible information and communication.

Reviews to determine compliance with accessible web content, web applications and training requirements will also take place.

When these audits and reviews are conducted, the aim will be to provide organizations with constructive feedback, share information about the standard and, if applicable, issue concrete plans to achieve compliance.

If this approach is ineffective, activities may be escalated to include sanctions, such as orders to comply and the charging of administrative monetary penalties.
