1A05 Compliance Management System

The Compliance Management System (CMS) is the fully electronic, secure cloud-based system that Investigators use to document compliance evaluations of contractors, to track major events encountered throughout the evaluation, and to summarize any violations found and remedies obtained.

Investigators must ensure that all relevant dates, information, and occurrences are promptly entered into CMS, beginning with the initial scheduling of the compliance evaluation and ending with the closure of the review, including the Conciliation Agreement (CA) monitoring period, if applicable. Investigators should refer to the CMS Manual for further instruction.
