Corrective Action Documents

The Corrective Action Documents (CAD) section displays at the top of the Review Dashboard and provides an at-a-glance view of the total number of CADs (i.e., findings) associated with the selected Contracting Entity’s review, as well as a count of CADs by status.  The system will count all findings uploaded via the laptop, as well as those that may have been added via the Compliance administrative web screen.  Within the Corrective Action Document screens, authorized users can add new findings, view or modify existing findings, and update Corrective Action Plan due dates within this section.

How Status is Set

Pending Approval

Note: If the state decided to re-open a CAD, the status of the CAD returns to Not Started.

Note: If the state has identified a finding during the review, but decides NOT to require a CAD submission by the Contracting Entity, the state can set the Corrective Action Required field to “No Action Required” and the status will be set to Closed.
