Submission, confirmation and follow-up demonstration

1. Regulatory Concept & Core Standards

This video focuses on how to separate technical confirmation from substantive outcome. Follow the sequence of decisions in the example rather than simply memorising a list. Notice who is involved, what information is needed and the expected result. These points help turn the content into a practice that another person can verify. External recipients depend on the breach field. Advice, receipt and investigation can differ. Since March 2026 KNAB is the contact point with statutory functions. Exercises send no real reports and do not make one authority every subject’s investigator.

Section 7 provides acknowledgement and initial decision within seven days, decision notification within three days after making it and progress within two months after recognition. An authority forwards an out-of-competence submission within seven days under 7(4). Public procedures have particular exceptions.

Apply the following rule: Section 7(2) requires acknowledgement and a preliminary recognition decision promptly and no later than seven days after receipt. Notify the decision within three days after making it. Provide progress information within two months after recognition as a whistleblower report and outcome information after examination. Private entities apply section 7 paragraphs 2,5,7 and 8; public-body exceptions must not automatically be imported.

2. Practical Implementation & Procedure

Use the verified route and protect the reference. Follow dialogue and clarify where needed. Separate automatic delivery from legal decisions and information. Never send an exercise to a real authority. Before moving on, turn this procedure into a sequence you could explain to a colleague. Identify the first check, the action that depends on its outcome and the record that allows the decision to be reconstructed. Follow the sequence on screen and identify the point where an error would change the result.

3. Case Study & Compliance Action

A learner sees mock submission and acknowledgement and identifies the progress-information starting event. No real report is sent. Now read the case carefully. Separate established facts from information you would still need to confirm. Do not add motives or events that have not been described. This distinction matters when choosing a response proportionate to the information available.

The exercise is as follows: Does clicking submit confirm wrongdoing? Choose an answer and write one sentence explaining it. During the pause, compare your choice with the criteria we have just considered. Also think about the material you would retain to explain the decision later.

No. It is technical. Receipt, competence, recognition, progress and outcome are distinct events.

One mistake to avoid is: treating a technical notice as a substantive decision.

Now apply the national rule to a second decision. The platform counts 90 days from opening. Does this meet Latvian requirements?

No. Separately record receipt, recognition decision and notification. Acknowledgement and initial decision are due within seven days after receipt; notify the decision within three days after making it. Progress information is due within two months after recognition. Apply section 7(1)’s distinction between public and private organisations.
