QC Feedback Instructions The Source Intelligence Conflict Minerals Compliance Program (CMCP) Quality Control (QC) process provides suppliers the opportunity to respond to QC Flags that are raised during the analysis of each submitted Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (CMRT) or declaration. Each declaration submitted into the Source Intelligence platform is analyzed for missing or incomplete data, and based on the analysis, may require feedback from the supplier. If multiple responses (declarations) have been submitted, for example to different requestors, feedback may be required even if the declarations are the same. Once a supplier has submitted feedback for a declaration, the requestor will see the response move from the category of “Following Up” category to “Complete” on the platform dashboard. Based on the QC Flags raised, you may want to submit a new declaration to your customer/requestor. You may do so by following the same process used to submit your original response. If you feel that a response is no longer relevant to your customer, you may request that it is “archived.” You will be sent three electronic reminders to provide feedback to your customers; after the third reminder the feedback for all QC Flags raised will be set to the default response of “I will not take any further action at this time” and submitted to your customer on your behalf. In order to provide your QC feedback, you will first need to log into your Source Intelligence account. This can be accessed at https://www.sourceintelligence.net/login with your username (email) and the password you created when you first registered. If you cannot remember your password or are locked out of your account, please click here: https://www.sourceintelligence.net/password/accountlookup You may be receiving this email because your contact information was provided on the declaration submitted. If you have never registered for the Source Intelligence platform please email [email protected]. Please include the following information in your email: Your email address Your company name The Source Intelligence customer(s) you would like to provide feedback for Once you have logged on to Source Intelligence please follow these steps to provide your feedback:
