Challenges Faced: Keeping Up with the Ever-Changing Guidelines

The world of finance is ever-changing, and our guest, Manoranjan, faces various challenges, including data deviations and the increasing number of government compliances. With guidelines changing frequently, Manoranjan strongly believes that the team must modify their documentation regularly to stay compliant.

Since there are a lot of compliant processes happening every day, like the 7th of the month is for TDS and 11th is GST, 15th is PF so on and so forth, it gets difficult to keep track of it. Manoranjan has overcome this by going old school and simply marking all the deadlines on his paper calendar. This helps him  ensure that compliance is completed within that timeline.

Reporting System and SaaS Metrics
