The purpose of a Corrective Action is to repair the consequences of an incident, accident, a Non-conformance or a Control Deficiency.

The Corrective Action can in its properties be described with
- a short description
- link to the one responsible for it
- link to related Non-conformances (or accident/incident/control deficiency)
- Link to relevant Goals
- description of recommended corrective actions
- the date of the recommendation
- the due date of implementing the recommendation
- estimated cost of the recommended corrective action
- link to the person responsible for making the recommendation
- the start and end date of the implementation of the recommended action
- link to the person responsible for the implementation of the recommended corrective action
- actual cost of the non-conformance (or incident/control deficiency)
- actual cost of the corrective action
- a description of the corrective action taken
- the closing date of the non-conformance/incident/control deficiency
Corrective Actions associated to a Non-Conformance will be shown on the “Corrective Actions to Non-Conformance” tab on the Non-Conformance.

There is a standard Governance Workflow for Corrective Actions.
