Fail or cancel an assessment

When you want to indicate that an entity’s assessment is no longer valid, fail or cancel it.

You can revert this decision later if you need to, which returns the assessment to its original state.

If you fail or cancel a company's assessment, you should also fail/cancel the assessments for the related associates. If you don't, the associates' entities will stay in ongoing monitoring.

Learn more about failing or canceling an assessment using a standardized list of decision reasons.

To fail or cancel an assessment:

  1. Go to the entity.

  2. Select the Assessment overview section and locate the assessment.

  3. If it’s a new assessment, select Fail. If it’s an assessment that has been passed, select Cancel.
