Due date control is the administrative nightmare of tracking the flow and delivery of tax returns with which every accounting firm struggles. How detailed the monitoring system should be is usually determined by the extent of control the partners require to have "peace of mind" that deadlines are being met. Some firms track returns through every stage of the process. Individuals log on and off a central control sheet (either manual or automated) at each level of the preparation and processing process. Some firms assign one administrative person to track every return in the office while others decentralize the process by partner or group.
