Regulatory Reporting On-Time Rate
Percentage of mandatory regulatory submissions filed by the statutory deadline
What is Regulatory Reporting On-Time Rate?
Regulatory reporting on-time rate is the percentage of regulatory submissions filed by their deadline. It shows how reliably a utility meets its reporting duties to regulators.
Late or missing reports can lead to penalties and closer scrutiny, so high performance is expected.

How to calculate it
Divide regulatory submissions filed on time by total submissions due, and multiply by 100.
For example, if 58 of 60 submissions were filed on time, the rate is about 97%.
Keep a register of every reporting obligation with its deadline and owner, and record the reason for any late filing.
