(b) a recognised accountancy body to comply with a term or condition attached under section 192 of the Act of 1990 (before or after the amendment of that Act by section 32 of this Act) to the recognition of that body, | ||
if, in the Authority's opinion, the body concerned may fail or has failed to comply with the rule or guideline or with the term or condition, as the case may be. |
