knew that it did not comply, or was reckless as to whether it complied, and
failed to take reasonable steps to secure compliance with those requirements or, as the case may be, to prevent the report from being approved,
commits an offence.
A person guilty of an offence under this section is liable—
on conviction on indictment, to a fine;
on summary conviction, to a fine not exceeding the statutory maximum.
