Domain · Compliance and audit

What it covers

Meeting statutory, tax, and regulatory obligations; being audit-ready; and keeping the structures that let the business operate legally.

Operations

Statutory accounts and filings operation

Deadline approaches → accounts prepared → reviewed → filed.

Audit preparation operation

Audit cycle approaches → trail checked → supporting docs readied → auditor engagement.

Tax planning and submission operation

Tax year considerations reviewed → external advisor consulted where needed → return filed on time.

Regulatory obligations operation

Requirement identified → compliance implemented → evidence retained.

Notes

Compliance is the invisible half of the Financial Loop — nobody thanks you for it, everybody notices if it slips. Treat the calendar as authoritative and plan backwards from each deadline.
