connect actions with owners and verifiable events
1. Regulatory Concept & Core Standards
This video focuses on how to connect actions with owners and verifiable events. 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. Handling connects receipt, initial decisions, dialogue and a reasoned outcome. Latvian acknowledgement, recognition, decision notification and progress information are separate events. Closed status does not prove all actions or lawful retention.
An action list supports but does not replace legal assessment. Progress information is due within two months after recognition. Investigation need not then be complete. Confidential detail remains restricted.
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
Assign purpose, owner and evidence to actions. Separate legal deadlines and internal targets. Monitor absence. Explain permitted progress and next steps, recording content and delivery. 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
The deadline arrives while investigation continues. The team prepares substantive limited information instead of automatically waiting for the final report. 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 continuing investigation remove the progress-information duty? 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. Section 7(7) and 7(8) concern different stages. Progress has its own deadline and outcome follows completed examination.
One mistake to avoid is: using investigation length as a general extension.
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.
