Compliance Notice Rectification and Regulatory Response Support
An RTO that had received a compliance notice engaged CAQA to manage its rectification response. The provider needed to respond clearly, gather evidence and demonstrate that corrective actions had been implemented.

An RTO facing serious registration problems engaged CAQA to help rebuild its compliance position under close regulatory attention. The provider needed to restore confidence in its governance, systems, resources and evidence base.
