Compliance Finance

Financial reporting obligations

Collecting monthly, quarterly and annual financial statements from tribes on a cadence, and keeping them out of sight of everyone who does not need them.

Last updated September 7, 2026


Financial reporting works exactly like any other document requirement, with two differences: it is tracked by period rather than by expiry date, and it is marked Financial so only people with the financial permission can see it.

Setting one up

  1. In Compliance Settings, add a document type — "Monthly profit and loss", say.
  2. Set Tracks to a period, and Every to Monthly, Quarterly or Yearly.
  3. Set Due days after period end — fourteen is common for a monthly return.
  4. Turn on Financial.
  5. Turn on Required. That is what makes a period with nothing lodged count as missing — a schedule under Compliance Settings only creates checks from checklist templates, not documents.

One document is then lodged per period, labelled 2026-07 for a month, 2026-Q3 for a quarter, or 2026 for a year. Compliance is a head office module in this release, so somebody in your organisation lodges it on the tribe's behalf from the Documents page.

A PERIOD DOCUMENT NEVER EXPIRES
June's profit and loss is either lodged for June or it is not, which is why period types do not ask for an expiry date. The tribe profile shows the current period on the card; use the Documents page, filtered to the type and the tribe, to read a run of periods back.

Who can see them

Marking the type Financial means everything filed against it needs View Financial Compliance. Anyone without it does not see the documents, the type, or a count that would reveal they exist — not on the Documents page, not on the Overview, not on the tribe profile.

That is what lets a business advisor run brand audits across a network without ever seeing what any tribe earns.

The Finance page

The Finance page brings the financial work into one place: financial reviews and royalty audits at the top, and the financial documents awaiting review underneath. It is the page the finance team lives on; everyone else can ignore it.

THIS IS NOT ROYALTY CALCULATION
Compliance records what was declared and what an audit found. Calculating a royalty from a rate and invoicing it is a separate matter and is not done here.
