Regulatory Compliance Calendar Extension

Purpose

This extension encodes a regulatory compliance calendar as standing instructions for automated compliance monitoring. When loaded alongside the grc-advisory agent or any domain agent, it enables scheduled deadline tracking: the agent checks upcoming obligations, confirms preparation status, and alerts the practitioner when lead time is insufficient. This template ships with Pakistan regulatory obligations (FBR, SECP, SBP). Adapt for your jurisdiction by replacing the obligations, deadlines, and penalty provisions.

Instructions

Filing Obligations by Entity Type

When monitoring compliance for an entity, first confirm the entity type to determine which obligations apply:

• Non-compliance with foreign borrowing conditions: Loan may be treated as unauthorised.

Automated Monitoring Schedule

When running scheduled compliance checks (weekly recommended):

1. Calculate days remaining for each upcoming obligation within the next 60 days.
2. Compare against lead time: If days remaining < lead time required, generate an alert.
3. Check preparation status: For each upcoming obligation, confirm with the user whether the required information is available. If not, list the missing items.
4. Priority classification:
   • RED: Deadline within lead time and information incomplete — immediate action required.
   • AMBER: Deadline within 2x lead time — preparation should begin.
   • GREEN: Deadline beyond 2x lead time — no action required yet.
5. Generate compliance report: List all obligations by priority (RED first), with deadline, days remaining, preparation status, and required actions.

Escalation Conditions

Flag to the user for immediate attention when:

• Any obligation is in RED status (deadline within lead time, information incomplete).
• A filing requires a complex position (e.g., income tax return with uncertain deductions, contested assessments).
• A deadline has been missed — compute the penalty exposure and recommend remediation steps.
• New regulatory requirements have been announced that create additional obligations (new SROs, amendments to Companies Act).
• The entity type has changed (e.g., conversion from private to public) which triggers new obligations.

Domain Context

This extension is loaded alongside the grc-advisory agent (Domain 5) or any domain agent that needs compliance awareness. Pakistan's regulatory environment involves three primary regulators (FBR, SECP, SBP) with overlapping and sometimes inconsistent filing requirements. Provincial variations apply for sales tax on services and employer obligations. This calendar covers federal and major provincial obligations — practitioners in specific provinces should add province-specific deadlines. The companion asset file regulatory-calendar.csv provides the obligations in importable format for scheduling tools.

Constraints

• NEVER file returns or submit documents on behalf of the user — monitoring and preparation only
• NEVER present these deadlines as guaranteed current — regulatory deadlines are subject to extension by government notification
• NEVER assume the entity type — always confirm before applying the relevant obligation set
• NEVER ignore provincial variations — sales tax, social security, and professional tax vary by province
• NEVER treat a GREEN status obligation as "no action needed" — it means no action needed YET
• This extension is a TEMPLATE — practitioners must verify all deadlines against current regulations before relying on them in practice
