GM2 CAMO.B.300(g) Oversight principles ED Decision 2022/017/R ASSESSMENT OF HARMONISED MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (a) One of the core capabilities that are required for supporting the effective implementation of safety management is the ability to monitor the effectiveness of an organisation’s management system. Competent authorities assess that effectiveness as part of their oversight activities. Cooperation between several competent authorities on that assessment is necessary, especially when different organisations have harmonised management systems as required by point [M.A.201(ea)](#DX1067071273). (b) To ensure cooperative oversight and sound decision-making regarding oversight across a single air carrier business grouping, the competent authorities involved are expected to provide for the following: (1) Use a common approach to the assessment of the management system, including the continuous improvement of the management systems across the operator(s) and the CAMO involved. Different competent authorities may not necessarily use the same tool to assess the maturity of the harmonised management systems. However, they will coordinate on this matter and share with one another to which extent their assessment approach follows the principles that are set out in [GM1 CAMO.B.300(a);(b);(c)](#_DxCrossRefBm1518546262). This way, all competent authorities involved will have an overall understanding of how each competent authority evaluates compliance and effectiveness of the management system(s). (2) When a finding is raised on a harmonised procedure or, if used, on a group standard, the other competent authority(ies) is/are informed, and the related root cause analysis and corrective action plan that are developed by the operator(s) and CAMO concerned are shared with all competent authorities involved. In addition, the informed competent authority(ies) will assess if such a finding is relevant for the organisation under its/their oversight and, depending on the conclusion of such an assessment, will take appropriate action (e.g. take no action, communicate with the organisation or with the competent authority that raised the finding, or raise a finding itself/themselves). (c) Regarding the duration of the oversight planning cycle of the organisations whose management systems are harmonised: (1) even if the management systems of organisations are harmonised with each other, the maturity levels of those management systems may differ; as the oversight planning cycle is mainly driven by the management system’s maturity and the organisation’s compliance records, some organisations may have an oversight planning cycle of 24 months (or less) and others a 36- or 48-month cycle; (2) the competent authorities involved will inform each other when the duration of the oversight planning cycle of the organisation(s) under their oversight is to be increased or reduced. ##### GM2 CAMO.B.300(g) Oversight principles *ED Decision 2022/017/R* **ASSESSMENT OF HARMONISED MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS** (a) One of the core capabilities that are required for supporting the effective implementation of safety management is the ability to monitor the effectiveness of an organisation’s management system.
