Inadequate due diligence, both before and after admission to AIM, is one of the major failings identified in the report...The report questions the effectiveness and good faith implementation of AIM’s regulatory regime...[and]...concludes with recommendations for the British Government...This report supplements a...complaint submitted by RAID in June 2011 to AIM Regulation...AIM has refused to enter into a dialogue about the issues raised.
