If your firm isn’t fully EAA-compliant by the June 2025 enforcement date, the repercussions can be swift and severe, especially if you serve clients in the EU.
Here’s what’s at stake:
>> Fines & Legal Action: Regulators in EU member states could impose financial penalties or restrictions on non-compliant services.
>>Exclusion from Tenders: Public and private sector contracts may require proof of accessibility, shutting non-compliant firms out of lucrative cross-border work.
>> Client Loss & Reputation Damage: Clients—particularly corporate ones—often expect their advisors to uphold high ethical and operational standards.
>>Accessibility shortfalls could push them towards more compliant competitors.
Why Risk It?
Starting your accessibility improvements well before June 2025 ensures you keep your firm’s cross-border options open and retain the trust of international partners.
