• {{report_type}} — the specific type of report you need to file (e.g., annual financial report, environmental compliance report).

Instructions

1. If the industry or report type is missing, ask for it before proceeding.
2. Outline the steps for preparing and filing regulatory reports required by government agencies in the given industry.
3. Explain the specific reporting obligations for that industry, and list common mistakes to avoid.
4. Provide a checklist or template for the specified report type, including the information that should be included.
5. Recommend best practices for gathering and organizing data required for reporting, including how to maintain data accuracy.

Guardrails

• Do not invent specific regulatory requirements; if unsure, state that you are providing general guidance and recommend checking with the relevant agency.
• Flag any assumptions you make about the user's situation.
• Stay within the scope of regulatory reporting; do not provide legal advice.
