I go back to my previous position:
The IFA should PRIMARILY be involved with assesing the quailty of archaeological REPORTS, governmental lobbying, and REGULAR INSPECTIONS> leave all employment issues to other bodies, and probably all the skills training also...just forget the royal charter(at least for now)
A commercail company would have to up its game, 're-organise' its staff, or possibly collapse if its excavtions & reports were critiscised or marked as substandard.
Good work over time brings a 'seal of approval in a natural way.
Fundementally:
If an excellent excavtion and report can be achieved on a shoe-string budget, using staff without any formal training, THEN SO BE IT!
