COMPLIANCE · UPDATED MAY 2026

Compliance Matrix

How Irish-market accounting, invoicing, and ERP platforms line up against the five regulatory cliffs that matter for Irish SMEs. Each cell shows a verification status with a citation and freshness date. PEPPOL and data-residency cells are sourced from vendor and regulator pages; where a spec is unsettled or a vendor has published nothing, the cell sits at ? rather than guessing.

PEPPOL data fresh as of 2026-06-16 9 vendors · 5 dimensions · accounting / invoicing / ERP

The five regimes

PEPPOL

EU mandatory e-invoicing arrives 2028; Revenue Technical Spec still pending.

CSRD

Sustainability reporting cascading from large filers down through their suppliers.

GPP

Green Public Procurement (Circular 17/2025) for vendors selling to Irish public bodies.

Auto-enrol

My Future Fund integration on the payroll side. Accounting-only products typically depend on a payroll add-on.

Data residency

Where the data lives. EU/IE preferred for GDPR-conscious buyers.

CSRD: ?
No vendor in this accounting set publishes a CSRD-aligned reporting module. CSRD scope was narrowed and the supplier-cascade timeline pushed out under the 2025 EU Omnibus package. Emissions and ESG data typically flow through a separate carbon-accounting integration, not the core ledger.
No public source confirmed yet.
GPP: ?
Circular 17/2025 puts the attestation burden on the supplier, not the software vendor. Accounting platforms are an indirect surface (record-keeping for green-criteria tenders); no platform currently advertises a GPP attestation module.
No public source confirmed yet.
Auto-enrol: ?
Accounting-only product. Auto-enrolment (My Future Fund) sits in the payroll layer. Confirm via the paired payroll product, not this accounting record.
No public source confirmed yet.
Data residency: Not started
Default hosting is outside the EU per the vendor’s own data page; EU residency not offered as a region. Transfers rely on an adequacy decision or Standard Contractual Clauses.

Reading the matrix

Ready Verified against a public vendor statement or regulator list.
In progress Vendor has publicly committed; rollout in flight.
Partial Available but conditional (e.g. opt-in EU region).
Not started No public commitment found.
? Not yet confirmed against Revenue Technical Spec or vendor public statement.

Methodology

Five regulatory regimes. One row per vendor. Click any cell for the citation and last-verified date. The matrix is editorial: where the regulator has not yet shipped a spec, we render ? rather than guess.

Scope starts with accounting because that’s where Revenue, PEPPOL, and auto-enrolment converge most tightly. The format expands to other categories (CRM, HR, payroll, business banking) as each is verified.
