Steps in this chapter (3)
Operate the firm's responses through recurring tasks, record the evidence, and let SQMTrove schedule the next one.
Many responses are operated by someone doing something regularly: reviewing the gifts register every quarter, checking CPD, reviewing methodology each year. A task links the work to the response, and the evidence recorded when it is done shows that the response operated (ISQM 1.26, 58(c)). Tasks are created from the risk assessment (step 5.12) or on the Tasks page, and appear under For you on the dashboard.
On 26 June 2026 Hauwa Abdullahi completes her quarterly review of the gifts and hospitality register.
