Further clarification
Frequently asked questions
Does an unread message mean no effective notice?
Do not assume that. Circular 8 describes official electronic notification and its effects; review the category of notice and the original wording.
Can Expit declare our registered email as an official notification channel gap closed?
No. Expit can support document processing, evidence reconciliation and accountable workflows. Your responsible officers and advisers must assess legal applicability, complete any required official submission and approve closure.
