8.4 Rejecting Reports from E-Files

Use this section to reject reports from an E-File. Only those reports, which are in E-File Generated and Acknowledgment - Rejected status can be rejected.

After the report is rejected from an E-File, it is removed from the E-File Reports list and the status of the report changes to Rejected from E-File. The rejected report is available in the Regulatory Reports List. You can correct a rejected report and resubmit it Supervisor’s approval. After the Change report is approved, you can follow the workflow of filing a regulatory report all over again as explained earlier.

Note:

After an E-File has been uploaded and accepted by the FINTRAC E-File System, the Supervisor should not reject the reports from the E-File until the acknowledgment file is uploaded to the OFS CRR CA STR application. If you reject a report after submission but before processing the acknowledgment files there will be a mismatch in the files referred in the acknowledgment file and the current E-File. If a report is rejected before uploading the acknowledgment into the OFS CRR CA STR application, then you have to re- submit the E-File at FINTRAC E-File System to get the latest acknowledgment file.
