📋 Step-by-Step Process for Monitoring Corrective Actions

---

1. Establish Clear Monitoring Framework

• Responsible Person(s): Assign a dedicated Monitoring Officer who will track the progress of corrective actions.
• Timeline: Define specific timelines for each corrective action, including deadlines for resolution and final verification.
• Progress Indicators: Use measurable indicators (e.g., percentage completion, milestones) to assess the progress of each action.

---

2. Develop and Use Tracking Tools

To ensure transparent tracking, use the Corrective Action Tracking Template (SCLMR-5-CAT) to document each action’s progress:

Action ID	Finding ID	Corrective Action	Responsible Person	Deadline	Status	Completion %	Comments/Progress Notes	Verification Method
CA001	F001	Implement unique client ID system	M&E Officer – Health	15 June 2025	In Progress	60%	Client ID system partially integrated, awaiting final testing	Verify system update and deduplication
CA002	F002	Revise and distribute new forms	Training Manager	22 June 2025	Pending	0%	Forms are under revision	Verify distribution and training session
CA003	F003	Train staff on SOP and archiving	Education Officer	5 July 2025	In Progress	30%	Training scheduled for 10 July	Confirm training completion

---

3. Weekly/Bi-weekly Check-ins

• Hold regular check-ins to review progress on corrective actions.
• Monitor action completion rates and ensure any roadblocks are identified early.
• Escalate issues that are falling behind schedule to senior management for timely resolution.

---

4. Track and Document Progress

Use a progress tracking system (e.g., a project management tool, spreadsheet, or shared dashboard) to continuously monitor and document updates on each corrective action. This ensures transparency and accountability.

• Example tool: Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel, or Project Management Software (Trello, Asana).

Sample Progress Tracking Format (Google Sheets/Excel):

• Column 1: Action ID
• Column 2: Finding ID (Link to the original audit findings)
• Column 3: Responsible Person (Who is working on the corrective action)
• Column 4: Action Deadline (Timeline for completion)
• Column 5: Current Status (Use status labels like “Not Started,” “In Progress,” “Completed,” “Delayed”)
• Column 6: Completion % (Update regularly)
• Column 7: Progress Notes (Challenges, updates, etc.)

---

5. Conduct Follow-up Audits

• After the corrective action deadlines have passed, perform a follow-up audit to verify that corrective actions have been successfully implemented.
• Cross-check the evidence and compare it with the initial discrepancies identified in the Audit Findings Report (SCLMR-5-AFR).

Verification Methods:

• Document reviews (e.g., updated registers, training logs)
• System checks (e.g., unique ID system in place, data backup processes)
• Staff interviews (e.g., confirm if new SOPs are followed)

---

6. Report on Progress to Stakeholders

• Provide regular updates to stakeholders (e.g., senior management, donors, partners) on the status of corrective actions.
• Use a monthly progress report summarizing the status of corrective actions, highlighting completed actions and identifying any remaining issues.

Report Example:

Finding ID	Corrective Action	Completion Status	Comments
F001	Implement unique client ID system	In Progress (60%)	Final testing and training required
F002	Revise and distribute new forms	Pending (0%)	Waiting for approval of new form designs
F003	Staff training on SOPs	In Progress (30%)	Training scheduled for next week

Escalation Process: If corrective actions are significantly delayed, escalate to the Program Manager and propose solutions or adjustments to timelines.

---

7. Final Validation & Closure

• Once all corrective actions have been successfully implemented and verified:
  • Update the tracking sheet to reflect 100% completion.
  • Finalize the corrective actions in the Audit Completion Report (SCLMR-5-ACR).
  • Ensure that a final validation audit confirms that the resolution is sustainable.
