Questions about industry compliance and periodic filings
What happens if periodic filings are missed?
The registration stays on the register, but the standing suffers, and it becomes an obstacle when you next need something from the Department, whether that is a capacity increase, a facility or a clearance. Missed filings are also the thing most likely to be raised during an inspection.
Can lapsed filings be brought up to date?
In most cases yes, by filing the missing periods in sequence. We assess the gap first and give you a realistic view of the work and cost involved.
