This topic explains how to accept non-compliances in a compliance project. The decision to accept non-compliances may take place due to high treatment costs, the inconvenience caused by treating it, or other factors. Any default justifications available when accepting a non-compliance can be disabled if necessary, and custom justifications can be created. For more information, see Chapter 17: Administration -> Customizations -> Projects -> How to Customize Justifications for Accepting Risks and Non-Compliances.
