portfolio manager identifies a solution, ‘Open’ an action item and assign that particular task to a

be taken. Once the action is taken and the issue resolved, the statu
statuss of the action item is changed to
‘Close’. This automated process ensures that no issues are overlooked and that timely action
ac is taken.
