This activity is performed by the CA Consultants. The work item is allocated to the CA Consultant via the manual allocation process.
The Activity Description field (on the "Submission Detail screen - Activity tab") will display the following description: "Approval”.
Corporate Action approval is the process of approving the submission.
The Corporate Actions user will be assigned the work item for approval. The Corporate Actions user can either approve or decline the submission. When approved, the submission will continue to the next step in the submission process. If the submission is declined, it will be returned to the submitter to be re-worked.
The SENS Super user and the System administrator, can re-allocate a submission in the 'CA Consultant Approval group'.
The SENS Super user and the System administrator can also approve this work item.
Unallocated items cannot be viewed by CA Consultant users.
CA Consultant users can only view work items that have been allocated to them.
IMPORTANT: Refer to the section "Submission Workflow activities" for an explanation of the 'announcement workflow' that may or may not be followed for each of the 3 'announcement types'.
The table below displays each of the 3 announcement types, that is, General Announcement, Primary Listing Announcement and Secondary Listing Announcement. For each of these announcements, the table reflects the Current Workflow Activity (Column 4) that can be viewed on the “SENS Worklist screen”.
Once the relevant announcement is selected, the Next Action field (Column 5) on the “Submission Detail screen” will display the actions that can be selected. Once the action is selected, the Next Workflow Activity (Column 6) is displayed. The “Next Workflow Activity” is dependant on the rules defined by the IRS Administrator. These rules may change over time. As such, different activities may be displayed based on the work flow and the rules set up by the IRS Administrator.
Example:
If you selected “Submit Announcement”, the next workflow activity might be Review, Needs File Size Approval, Finalisation, etc. This is based on the rules set up in IRS. But, Finalisation can only be performed for General Announcements and Primary Listing Announcements. Finalisation is not part of the workflow for Secondary Listing Announcements.
At any stage of the work flow, the internal user may choose to send the announcement back to any action allowed in the work flow. For example, if the process went through Submit, Review, CA Approval and Finalisation, the user may request - in the Finalisation stage - to send the announcement back for Rework.
