Reporting (RP) Obligations

The adopted Audit Points for report obligations are based on the following template language: 

The Secretariat confirms that CCM submitted in AR Pt2 or AR Pt 1 that:

{xxxx}

OR 

The Secretariat confirms receipt of {xxx} report of {XXX}

OR

The Secretariat confirms that the CCM submitted the required information contained in the template in {XXX}



The expected response is the CCM confirmation that they supplied the required report or information. The Secretariat will confirm receipt and that the report describes the CCM’s activities in the Reporting Year against an implemented obligation.

 

Note: The quality of the reported information against the expected content of the report is NOT assessed unless the Audit Point requires the Secretariat to confirm or verify the described activity would meet the obligation.

 

Note: The comment above in relation to the type of response expect from RP obligations rather than IM obligations.

 

Note: Applying this distinction between IM and RP obligations would support an IM obligation not needing to be reviewed each year except for a CCM that has not yet completed implementation or where a CMM has changed. The RP for that obligation may be selected more frequently.
