We are excited to announce the implementation of the new ICA scorecard system in OneGMS, in accordance with the Global Guidelines. This enhancement will serve as an interim solution while we address additional module requirements.

The updated ICA version will be released without affecting any existing partner risk profiles and will apply to all newly assessed partners in OneGMS, whether they are new partners or existing ones undergoing reassessment. The main objective of this initial phase is to enable your teams to migrate data from assessments currently performed offline. Additionally, it will map existing partners’ compliance with minimum requirements, flagging those that are non-compliant.

This initial online implementation of the new ICA is a temporary measure to avoid offline processes. Kindly note the following points: 

• You will still be able to manually assign partner risk based on your respective CA range, following the new ICA total score.  
• Proxy Capacity Assessments (PCA) will also have to be manually reflected in the system pending the second phase release.  
• This release will not include automated ineligibility for partners that do not meet the minimum score of 60 percent for operational and financial capacity; you will need to track this manually and take action accordingly.  
• This release does not cover new features of the Eligibility process such as conditional eligibility, ICA recommendations, and ICA feedback reports.

The OCU team and the OneGMS Support team have scheduled two training sessions for this release in August. The links to the training are provided in the OneGMS Monthly Digest | August 2024.

If you are currently conducting or planning an eligibility review for new partners, please contact OCU/OneGMS Support for bilateral assistance with the process.
