The Updated By column displays the user name of the person who last updated the “Recommended Status” field. |
Recommended Status |
The Recommended Action selection allows the Administrator to override the Project-FE relation set by the reporter. The selection values available for the administrator are - In progress, Exempt, Project Level Approval, No Conflict Exists, No Further Action, Best Practices Memo, Disclosed Interests Eliminated, Disclosed Interests Reduced, Disclosed Interests Managed, Submitted for Review, Under Review by COI Reviewer, Under COI Office Review, Under COI Committee Review, Awaiting Additional Information, Potential Relationship, Relationship Identified, Reviewer Identified Conflict, Unresolved and Disclosed Interests Unmanageable.

Upon changing the disposition through the Recommended Status selection, the administrator is prompted by the system to perform a save action. “After a project-financial entity relationship change you must save before approving.” |
Once an administrator updates the Recommended Status field, the newly updated relatedness status would also be visible to the reporter within the “Related column” in the Financial Entities section of the disclosure page.
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.
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 775 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.
