Adoption of Project-FE relatedness status with the highest numerical value as project and disclosure status

When multiple financial entities are related to a project, the system adopts the highest number of the project-fe statuses for the status display at the disclosure level and project level once the final action on the disclosure is performed by the administrator. The project-fe status entered by the reporter may or may not be overridden by the administrator.

note.png    The statuses available to the administrator within the Administrator Action panel are maintained within the Maintenance Table COI Disposition Status. The calculation of which project-fe status to select as the overall status for the project/disclosure is based on the value of the numeric COI Disposition Code. The system considers lower values as “good” statuses and higher values as “bad” statuses. For e.g. Relationship Identified with a COI Disposition code of 320 is considered a better status than Unresolved with a COI Disposition code of 330.

 

Figure 712 KC Maintenance/Compliance – Conflict of Interest/COI Disposition Code

 

In the example below, the Administrator updates one of the project-fe relatedness statuses to “Reviewer Identified Conflict”. The COI Disposition value for this is 325, which is higher than the COI Disposition value for “Potential Relationship” 310.
