How to Run Your Company Without Missing a Single Statutory Deadline

How to Run Your Company Without Missing a Single Statutory Deadline

Every Singapore company knows the drill — annual returns, AGMs, director filings, tax submissions, XBRL reports. Yet somehow, even the most organized teams find themselves rushing right before a statutory deadline.

The truth? Missing deadlines isn’t about carelessness — it’s about process design. Without an integrated system that keeps every requirement in sync, compliance becomes reactive. Here’s how to fix that — and how AI tools like ccMonet help companies stay on top of every single filing, every single time.

1. Map Out the Annual Compliance Calendar

Every business in Singapore has predictable compliance cycles:

  • ACRA Annual Return (AR): Within 7 months of financial year-end
  • AGM (if applicable): Within 6 months of financial year-end
  • IRAS ECI filing: Within 3 months of financial year-end
  • Corporate Tax Return (Form C/C-S): By November each year
  • Director or shareholder updates: Within 14 days of change

Most SMEs depend on external corporate secretaries to track these. The problem? Communication gaps and human delays make it easy for something to slip through.

By contrast, ccMonet’s AI-powered compliance tracker automates these timelines. Every filing deadline is mapped, tracked, and surfaced through reminders — long before the clock runs out.

2. Automate What Can Be Automated

Most statutory filings rely on the same core data: financial statements, resolutions, and company particulars.
The more manual your process, the higher the risk of inconsistencies.

ccMonet automates repetitive compliance tasks such as:

  • Generating board resolutions and minutes from templates
  • Preparing ACRA and IRAS submissions from real-time accounting data
  • Syncing company information across filings automatically

This reduces dependency on manual copy-paste or “version 6 final-final.docx” situations that delay approvals.

3. Keep Finance and Secretarial Work Connected

In many SMEs, accounting and corporate secretarial teams operate separately — different systems, different vendors. That disconnect causes problems when figures or company records don’t align.

With ccMonet, your bookkeeping, tax, and compliance data live in one ecosystem. Director changes, share movements, and financial results update seamlessly across all records.
When it’s time to file, everything matches perfectly — no need to reconcile between systems.

4. Build an Approval Workflow That Moves Fast

Even when documents are ready, delays often happen internally — waiting for sign-offs, signature routing, or document verification.

ccMonet digitizes these approval steps. Directors can review and sign documents securely online, from anywhere. The platform keeps an audit trail for every approval, ensuring your compliance documentation is complete and legally valid.

5. Audit-Proof Your Compliance Data

Missing a deadline is bad; missing a record when auditors ask for it is worse.
Every statutory document should be stored in a traceable, version-controlled system.

ccMonet keeps all filings, resolutions, and correspondence organized in one digital register.
No more searching through email threads or folders — everything is accessible, timestamped, and compliant.

Compliance Should Run in the Background — Not Take Over Your Day

Running a compliant company shouldn’t mean chasing paperwork. With AI automation and expert oversight, every statutory deadline becomes predictable and painless.
