The OpenText seven day notice response.

OpenText gives seven days notice before an audit, along with the right to copy relevant records. What you do in that week shapes the finding more than any week that follows. This paper sets out the response procedure step by step, the same one we run in the Respond phase of the four Rs.

• An hour by hour map of the first 48 hours after a notice lands
• How to establish a single controlled channel before anything reaches the vendor
• What the right to copy records does and does not entitle OpenText to take
• The data to gather internally, and the data to withhold until the position is reconstructed
• How the seven day clock interacts with scope, the NDA, and the self assessment request
• A checklist for handing the response to a partner without losing time
