Build an annual compliance calendar for our legal entities
Creates a calendar of corporate filings, annual meetings, renewals, and registrations per entity so deadlines are never missed.
The prompt
Help me build an annual corporate compliance calendar for our group of legal entities.
Entities: [for each: legal name, entity type, jurisdiction of incorporation, registration number, financial year end, date of incorporation]
Places each entity is registered or qualified to do business: [LIST]
Known deadlines and filings we already track: [LIST]
Who owns each type of task: [e.g. "paralegal: filings; finance: tax returns; company secretary: meetings"]
Registered agents / corporate service providers: [if any]
For each entity, list the recurring obligations to check, such as:
- Annual reports / confirmation statements and registered office or agent renewals
- Annual financial statements and audit filing deadlines
- Annual general meeting or annual shareholder/director approvals
- Beneficial ownership or register updates
- Business licenses, permits, and foreign qualifications
- Director and officer changes to be filed within a set period
- Tax registrations (flag only; finance owns the returns)
- Powers of attorney, signatory lists, and bank mandates to review
Rules:
- Do not state specific statutory deadlines from memory as fact. Put the obligation and a proposed date, mark each [CONFIRM DEADLINE WITH REGISTRY OR LOCAL COUNSEL], and note the typical trigger (e.g. "X months after year end").
- Add an internal reminder date 30 days before each deadline.
Return:
1. A table: Entity | Jurisdiction | Obligation | Trigger | Proposed due date | Reminder date | Owner | Source to confirm.
2. A month-by-month view of the year.
3. A short list of information I am missing.
Requirements vary by jurisdiction and change; a qualified lawyer or local agent must confirm each deadline.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.
