Corrective Action Plan (CAP)

The Corrective Action Plan (CAP) is a scheduled plan to correct deficiencies identified during an audit. It is developed by an operator following the issuance of an audit report.

  • Deficiencies are shortcomings or points of weakness or vulnerability that threaten the success of the management system and the include both Nonconformances and Concerns.
  • BSEE considers Concerns to be deficiencies because the auditor has concluded that additional or modified controls must be put in place to maintain the effectiveness of the management system or one of its elements and to avoid the manifestation of new nonconformities.

You should provide BSEE with a copy of the Corrective Action Plan (CAP) for addressing the deficiencies identified in the audit within 60 days of the audit completion date.

The CAP should include the name and job title of the personnel responsible for correcting the identified deficiencies.

The BSEE will notify you as soon as practicable after receipt of the CAP if the proposed schedule is not acceptable or if the CAP does not effectively address the audit findings.
