Compliance Reporting

Regulatory obligations continue well after initial certification. A typical nationwide provider of integrated telecom services must file hundreds of reports with regulatory agencies each year. Mandatory reporting requirements and applicable fees change frequently. Such challenges make it difficult for companies to remain in compliance. Missing reports and deadlines can erode your revenue through late fees, interest, and in severe cases, loss of certification within a state.

TMI is recognized as the best out-source service in the country for preparing, filing, and tracking these reports on behalf of our clients at a cost that is far less than a single internal staff person.

Our clients provide information monthly that is used to populate reports automatically. The reports are then reviewed and sent to the client for approval or any additional information that is not routinely gathered. TMI files all reports and tracks their receipt by the various agencies, answering questions as needed.

TMI's Compliance Reporting Service offers advantages over other outsource vendors and in-house alternatives including:

  • Proprietary custom database and software to calendar generate and track reports automatically
  • Knowledgeable staff whose sole responsibility is understanding and completing compliance reports for a large number of carriers
  • Timely and thorough service that is carefully tracked and professionally managed, with high standards for record retention and accountability
  • Flexibility to work with a wide variety of tax vendors to tailor the service

In addition, TMI Compliance Reporting Service clients have access to valuable planning and budgeting tools for predicting future expenditures and managing the compliance reporting process.
