Accepted Breach Agreement (ABA) – Ongoing Compliance Obligation

In Simple Terms

Even if a team signs an Accepted Breach Agreement (ABA) to resolve a past financial rules violation, they must still follow all the Financial Regulations going forward. The ABA doesn't give them a free pass to break the rules again in the future.

• An ABA settles a specific past breach but doesn't exempt teams from future compliance
• Teams remain fully bound by all Financial Regulations after signing an ABA
• The agreement cannot be used as justification for violating financial rules later
• FIA can still penalize teams for new violations even after an ABA is agreed
