4 Review and Submit a BCA CPD Report

When a reporting project has no blocking issues, an authorised user can review the latest BCA CPD reporting data and submit it to BCA.

Submission is not automatic. You must preview the report, confirm that you reviewed it, and submit it for the selected project and reporting period.

Before you start

Before you can submit a report:

  • The BCA CPD setup must be complete.
  • The project must be included as a reporting project.
  • The selected project and reporting period must have no blocking issues.
  • You must have permission to submit Compliance reports.

Compliance viewing, source-data editing, and report submission are controlled separately. Being able to view a ready report does not necessarily mean you can submit it.

See 2. Prepare Data for BCA CPD Reporting if the project is marked Needs attention.

Open Review & Submit

Go to Compliance > Overview and select the reporting period and project you want to submit.

When the project is marked Ready, select Review & Submit. The reporting period is fixed for this submission flow and cannot be changed from the review page.

If readiness changes or new blockers are found, return to the affected source records and resolve the issues before trying again.

Review the submission scope

Review the submission summary:

  • Reporting period
  • Project
  • Project registration and contractor information
  • Number of members
  • Number of attendance records
  • Readiness status

Make sure the project and reporting period match the report you intend to submit.

Preview submission data

Select Preview submission data to view the latest information that will be sent.

The preview is read-only and includes:

  1. Reporting period
  2. Project information
  3. Members
  4. Attendance

The preview shows current source data, not a previously submitted snapshot. To change anything, close the preview, update the relevant project, member, or attendance source record, and return to Review & Submit.

Sensitive information remains masked unless you have permission to view it.

Confirm and submit the report

When you are ready:

  1. Review the submission scope.
  2. Preview the submission data.
  3. Select the confirmation checkbox to confirm that you reviewed the report.
  4. Select Submit.
  5. Confirm the submission when prompted.

GoBuid performs a final validation before sending the report. If new blocking issues are found, the submission does not continue. Resolve the issues and review the report again.

After submission starts, GoBuid prevents another submission attempt for the same project and reporting period while the current attempt is processing.

Track submission progress

During submission, the progress view may show:

  1. Preparing submission
  2. Submitting to BCA
  3. Awaiting BCA response
  4. Completed

The progress remains available if you leave or refresh the page. Return to the reporting period to check the latest status.

Processing time may vary. GoBuid shows the current confirmed step and does not display a percentage unless that progress is provided by the submission service.

Review the submission result

When the submission succeeds, the reporting period is marked Submitted.

The result shows the available submission details, such as:

  • Submitted date and time
  • Submitted by
  • Records submitted
  • BCA reference number, when available

Select View submitted snapshot to review the data saved at the time of the successful submission. This snapshot does not change if the source project, member, or attendance information is updated later.

If the submission fails

A Failed status means that the submission or external processing did not complete successfully. It is separate from a reporting readiness blocker.

Open Failure Details to review the available:

  • Failure date and time
  • Error code and message
  • BCA response, when available
  • Affected project, member, or attendance record
  • Recommended action

Use the available action to review and correct affected source data. If the issue is a system or connection error, use Retry when available or contact support.

Before retrying, GoBuid validates the report again. If new blockers are found, resolve them before resubmitting.

To review attempts, submitted snapshots, or reports that require another submission, see 5. Manage BCA CPD Submissions.
