That makes sense HB. I was sure that something along these lines was discussed on the forum some time ago, but I must have misremembered - perhaps it is that sometimes invitations to tender have the proviso that a director or equivalent must be a memeber of the IFA [?]
I still suspect that there are many units that are non-RAOs, but the person heading them is an IFA member. (I suppose that it can allow companies to make claims that blur the line, like "we are members of the IFA...").
My question is still: Can an IFA member who heads a company that is not an RAO be held accountable for the actions of that company? Has it ever happened? If it can happen, then this gives the IFA disciplinary procedure scope beyond the ranks of the RAOs on employment issues like pay. And if it can't happen, why not!?
