• The full accounting cycle under NIIF as adopted in Colombia (Decreto 2420 de 2015), on the PUC, through monthly and annual financial statements
• ICA and retención de ICA in each municipality where the company is registered
• Información exógena, including the third‑party reconciliation work through the year that keeps the annual filing routine
