If the particulars on the application form are satisfactory and all necessary accompanying documentation is in place, CORA will automatically approve the scheme and generate an appropriate letter. This will apply to insured schemes only. The Applications Assistant should tick the box on the application form marked APP. CORA will generate the location code "CORA." The papers are then filed away within Applications for a two year period (for audit purposes) before being destroyed.
