Operate Overview - Task Responses

The following describes the functionality and features included in SQM.

Objective

The objective of this page in SQM is to provide the individuals with the ultimate and operational responsibility for the firm’s system of quality management, with an overview of the responses to tasks that have been completed within SQM. 

The knowledge gained from monitoring these responses can either lead to following up on responses or it could highlight further effort required in improving the firm’s system of quality management, if it indicates that some policy or procedure responses are not operating optimally, or if additional quality risks are identified. 

Page position

Task responses can be found in the Operate Overview module. 

Page content

This page includes a dropdown menu from where the individuals with ultimate and operational responsibility can monitor completion of tasks.
A table, showing the completed records, will be shown for the selected task.
