Group-wide compliance calendar delivers 100% on-time filings

Compliance was tracked in spreadsheets held by individuals. A single governed calendar with owners, evidence and escalation replaced it, and has held a perfect filing record since.

The situation

  • Obligation lists lived with individuals and left when they did.
  • Late fees were treated as a cost of doing business rather than a control failure.
  • Board had no reliable view of the group compliance position.

What we did

  • Built a single obligation register across entities, states and laws.
  • Assigned a named owner, preparer and reviewer to each obligation.
  • Set escalation triggers at T-7, T-3 and T-1 days before each due date.
  • Introduced a quarterly compliance certificate to the board with exceptions listed.

Measured outcome

  • Perfect on-time filing record maintained since implementation.
  • Late fees and interest on statutory delays eliminated from the P&L.
  • The board receives a quarterly, evidenced compliance position it can rely on.

Governance shift

Compliance stopped depending on individuals and became a system the board can inspect.
