Mining Mandatory Returns Software for Statutory Filings — Capabilities
Figure Aggregation
Collect production, despatch, closing stock and royalty values straight from operations for the reporting period, so a return is built from source data rather than re-typed spreadsheets.
Return Preparation
Lay the aggregated figures into the recurring monthly and annual return formats, leaving the compliance team to verify rather than compile from scratch each cycle.
Pre-Submission Reconciliation
Check that the figures in a return agree with the underlying despatch and stock ledgers, catching mismatches before the statement reaches the regulator.
Due-Date Tracking
Maintain the filing calendar for every recurring return and raise reminders as a deadline nears, so a statutory submission is never missed or filed late.
Royalty & Contribution Workings
Compute the royalty and statutory contribution figures the return must carry from despatched quantity and grade, keeping the declared liability consistent with movement.
Filing Archive
Store every filed return with the figures behind it, so an assessment query or audit years later can be answered from a single retained record.
