The aim of the Commission is to regulate in a way that is effective, proportionate and fair, in line with the principles of good regulation. Wherever possible, the Commission will use advice and guidance to assist people to help them to comply with legislation but will monitor and take enforcement action where necessary.

The Commission plans to spend £182,000 in 2015-16 on enforcement and monitoring of the Transparency of Lobbying, Third Party Campaigning and Trade Union Act 2014.
