Accreditation Module

Background work has begun on a mechanism to help manage the various aspects of a firm’s accreditation programs. This will include a dedicated (DIY) forms module for the creation and maintenance of competency exams along with other accreditation program-related data tracking used for compliance and audit needs. In addition project document file repositories will also be available for storage of accreditation-based documentation, standards, procedures, etc. This development has started, but will not be visible to the user base in the 2002.2 release. More details on this exciting development will be shared later.
