What is not a characteristic of the advisory note in terms of professional sanctions?

The advisory note serves as a form of guidance to professionals rather than a punitive measure. Its main purpose is to educate and inform about practices and standards without imposing formal sanctions.

An advisory note typically does not lead to formal disciplinary action because it is not a formal sanction itself. Instead, it may address areas for improvement and highlight issues that require attention without resulting in severe consequences. This sets it apart from formal disciplinary actions that typically involve significant penalties, such as suspension or revocation of a license.

In contrast, aspects such as identifying a minor mistake, including errors in property measurement, or functioning as a non-sanction tool are consistent characteristics of an advisory note. The note aims to guide professionals in maintaining standards rather than punishing them, which is why it is accurate to say that it does not lead to formal disciplinary action.
