What is a remedial order?

• A. An order to publish results
• B. An order to increase profits
• C. An order to merge companies
• D. An order to change conduct

Answer: (D)

Remedial order is a regulatory tool used to correct how a licensee practices and to prevent future noncompliance. It’s issued by the real estate regulator after finding conduct that falls short of the rules, and it focuses on changing behavior or business procedures—so the licensee can operate in a compliant way going forward. The order might require actions like completing targeted education, implementing new procedures, undergoing supervision, or submitting progress reports. The goal is to protect the public and maintain professional standards, not to punish with financial penalties or to push corporate changes. That’s why an order to change conduct is the best description. The other options don’t fit because publishing results, increasing profits, or merging companies are not the corrective actions aimed at remedying professional conduct.
