Effective from Q4 2019 there will be a change to the Central Bank of Ireland reporting requirements under AIFMD. These changes come in the form of a mandated file format that some of you may or may not already be familiar with, eXtensible Markup Language (XML) is a format that is both human and machine-readable.
After review, the Central Bank of Ireland has put forward and accepted a change proposal in relation to authorised, registered or non-EU AIFM on the Central Bank of Ireland’s Online Reporting System (ONR).
The future strategic direction of these return types for the foreseeable future means that the Excel file format is being discontinued, effective from Q4 2019. As of this reporting period, the Central Bank will only accept XML files for AIFM and AIF returns on the Online Reporting System.
