Missing key deadlines can result in fines, lost business opportunities, lost profits, or a combination of these consequences. Compliance is fulfillment and confirmation of a requirement. Among mandatory compliance forms are payroll forms, income and sales tax forms, and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reports. In addition, all end-of-year (EOY) activities, including sending account confirmations, sampling inventory, and other audit fieldwork, require attention to deadline compliance. Often, accountants must maintain workflow on several projects at once to meet required deadlines. |  | \u003Cbr>FIGURE 2.
