## 根因

## 解决方案

1. ```
   Set a compliance calendar reminder for 5 months after financial year end to allow 1 month buffer for board approval and signature. Use a governance tool like Diligent or BoardEffect to track approval workflows.
   ```
2. ```
   If the deadline is missed, immediately publish a statement as soon as possible and include an explanation of the delay. While this does not eliminate liability, the Home Office guidance notes that prompt remedial action is a mitigating factor in enforcement.
   ```

## 无效尝试

- **** — Publishing the statement late but backdating the date to appear within the deadline is a criminal offence of making a false statement under the Fraud Act 2006 (80% 失败率)
- **** — Assuming the statement can be a simple webpage rather than a board-approved document with director signature means it fails the formal requirements of s. 54(6)-(7) (60% 失败率)
