The seriousness by which this issue is being tackled is signified by the fact that the Working Group is being chaired by RICS President, Peter Goodacre. He explains that: "By far the majority of RICS members and other professionals working in the property sector are open and transparent in all their business dealings. However, there is anecdotal evidence that suggests either that this might not always be the case, or that there are certain areas where there needs to be more openness.
A consultation paper will be issued shortly.
