The Compliance register helps your organisation plan, complete, approve, and retain evidence of recurring or once-off compliance activities. It keeps the requirement, instructions, timing, responsible officers, supporting records, and follow-up together in one traceable workflow.
Use it for statutory, regulatory, contractual, funding, governance, or internal compliance tasks. Register views show what is in progress, what has closed, and which future tasks are scheduled.
Key features
Schedule: create a once-off task or an automatically repeating series.
Complete: give the Action officer instructions, due dates, source documents, and evidence requirements.
Approve: let the Approval officer assign more work or approve and close the task.
Control access: make the item available to all users or limit it to selected teams and people.
Compliance workflow
The Compliance register uses a three-stage workflow: Schedule, Action, and Approve/Close. At the final stage, the Approval officer reviews the Action officer's work and either assigns further action or approves and closes the task. Hover over, focus on, or tap a stage to see what happens there.
