This guide covers best practices for managing your compliance obligations using Commenda.

## Your compliance workflow

### Weekly review

Check your **Compliance Calendar** at least once a week:

1. Review items due in the next 30 days.
2. Check for items with **Action required** status.
3. Update statuses for any filings you've completed.

### When a filing is due

<Steps>
  <Step title="Review the compliance item">
    Click on the item to see its details, requirements, and any attached documents.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Gather required information">
    Make sure you have all the information and documents needed for the filing.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Update status to Under filing">
    Mark the item as **Under filing** so your team knows work is in progress.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete or delegate the filing">
    Either file the document yourself or create a service request for professional help.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Mark as Filed or Completed">
    Once submitted, update the status and attach a copy of the filed document.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Getting professional help

If you need assistance with a filing:

1. Click **Create service request** from the compliance item.
2. Select the type of service needed.
3. A service request is created and assigned to a service provider.
4. Track the progress from the service request page.

## Tips for staying organized

* **Set up recurring reviews** — block time each week to check your compliance calendar
* **Delegate early** — create service requests well before deadlines
* **Keep documents current** — upload filed documents immediately
* **Monitor extensions** — if you file for an extension, track the new deadline carefully
