Changes captured in the Audit log + statutory notifications register

The Audit log records changes to tenant configuration that map onto this regulation: ownership changes, location additions and address changes, status transitions on key personnel. Once the change has been notified externally to CQC, the submission reference and a copy of the form can be captured in the statutory notifications register against the relevant regulation.
