| CISR84000 | Information contents | |—————————————————————————————————–|———————-|

This Action Guide outlines the process involved when a compliance officer wishes to update the compliance history record of either a subcontractor or contractor scheme by recording new, or updating existing investigation details in respect of a closed investigation. To access this functionality the user will need to hold either the CISR compliance officer or CISR compliance manager roles.

The actions described below are identical whether you are recording details on a subcontractor or contractor record, with the exception of recording deduction details which will only be applicable to a scheme contractor record.

If you are updating an existing history record the process will be identical to recording information for the first time however the details in those fields may already be pre-populated with recorded details which you may wish to overwrite - where appropriate, or add to information already recorded.

It is not necessary to complete the authentication process to access this function. Therefore, from the Identify Customer window enter the UTR or AO reference and ‘Internal Enquiry’ as the ‘Contact’ and select [OK]. From the CIS Main Menu window

  • select the required subcontractor or contractor reference number
  • select ‘Record Compliance History’ from the menu.

The ‘Record Compliance History’ window will display a history of the existing ‘Compliance Activities’ in the top half and ‘Manual Penalties’ that have been levied, in the bottom half against the selected reference.

  • Select the button ‘Record Investigation’ in the middle left of the window which will take you to the ‘Investigation Details’ window. The subcontractor or contractor scheme name and reference number will be shown at the top.

  • Cancel – Returns you to the CIS Main Menu, with all data entered being lost
  • Location of papers - Record the District record reference of the folder where the investigation papers are filed.
  • Add Notes – Select this button to add any supplementary information relating to the settlement details entered.
