Compliance calendar

Deadlines that put themselves in the diary

Tag a company once and Chronica creates its filings: CAC annual returns, SCUML, NDPC audit returns and tax dates. You see every company's next deadline in one calendar, and the right person is reminded in time.

  • Starting rules for each entity type, editable by the firm
  • Reminders to the responsible lawyer and to the client
  • Mark filed with the receipt, kept on the company record

The starting rules are defaults, not legal advice. Check and edit them for your clients.

"Shall we file?"

The client says yes and pays in one tap

Before a filing is due, Chronica asks the client on WhatsApp, SMS or email whether you should file it, with your fee and a pay link. A yes opens the filing matter and the payment settles to your firm. A "we'll file it ourselves" is recorded too.

  • Ask one client, or every client with a filing due, in one go
  • Pay by transfer, USSD or card from the message
  • No answer? Chronica reminds them, then tells you

Questions

Asked by corporate firms

Does Chronica file with the CAC for us?

No. Your team files on the CAC portal as it does today. Chronica tracks the deadline, asks the client, collects your fee and keeps the evidence on the company record.

Are the deadline rules legal advice?

No. They are starting defaults for each entity type. Your firm checks them and can change any rule, or add its own on Firm and Enterprise.

Can litigation and corporate work run in the same firm?

Yes. Set your practice focus to mixed and you get the court diary and the compliance calendar side by side.

Do clients need an account to buy a service?

No. They pay on your firm website and get a link to their portal by email and WhatsApp, where they upload the documents you ask for.
