The independent adjudicator is required to report to the board and publish in his annual report any non-compliance with recommendations by a university.
Differences between the provinces and territories appear in the authority granted to an adjudicator and in the amounts prescribed for compensation and penalties.
The use of adjudicated digital audio recordings was discontinued after 2012 - from 2013 onwards, groups receive a recording of their performance with no adjudicator voice-over.
