How does CORA automate fit-and-proper assessments?

CORA automates fit-and-proper assessments through a structured three-column decision process: Receipt (completeness check, acknowledgement, FIUTT notification), Assessment (evaluation against s.5 F&P Guideline with PQD Assessment Form), and Decision & Dispatch (multi-level approval with signed letter generation). The process uses Workflow Studio, Case Management, PQD forms, IAM, and FIUTT integration.

How does CORA handle FIUTT as an external party?

CORA models FIUTT (Financial Intelligence Unit of Trinidad and Tobago) as an external party with dedicated notification workflows. When a fit-and-proper application is received, the system automatically notifies the relevant FIUTT contacts (Compliance Officer / Assistant Compliance Officer). If objections arise during assessment, the workflow enables structured collaboration with FIUTT through the Case Management external portal.
