Corrective Action Register
Corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs) are the engine of any compliance management system. Without a structured register, findings get lost, owners become unclear, and repeat issues go unaddressed — which is exactly what auditors look for.
This XLSX register provides a professional CAPA tracking system: finding source, classification, root cause fields, corrective action description, responsible person, due dates, status (open/overdue/closed), and close-out verification. Includes a trend analysis summary tab and dashboard-style summary view.
