Organizations are required to file an accessibility compliance report every two years as part of their obligations under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA). This biannual reporting ensures that organizations are continuously evaluating and improving their accessibility efforts to comply with established standards. The rationale for this two-year interval is to maintain accountability and encourage regular updates on progress made towards accessibility goals, ensuring that organizations remain engaged in making their services, workplaces, and goods accessible to individuals with disabilities. The requirement strikes an effective balance between allowing organizations sufficient time to implement necessary changes while also promoting consistency and follow-up on their commitments to accessibility. Reports submitted more frequently, such as annually or monthly, could overwhelm organizations and detract from their ability to focus on meaningful accessibility initiatives.
