Reporting Registers of Information

Financial entities subject to the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) (Regulation (EU) 2022/2554) will be required to submit Registers of Information (RoIs) in relation to all contractual arrangements on the use of ICT services provided by ICT third-party service providers, which they maintain in accordance with DORA article 28(3).

 

Upcoming Submission Date - March 2026

Financial entities are required to submit their RoI, with a reporting date as at 31 December 2025, to the Central Bank of Ireland  via the Central Bank Portal during the window of 2 March to 31 March 2026.  We recommend submitting as early as possible in this window, to allow time to remediate any errors you may have in your files.

Financial entities should ensure that they are using the latest version of the  the system guide on how to upload your prepared RoI to the Central Bank Portal. (PDF 4.89MB) and supporting materials at all times, as these may be updated periodically.

Based on testing performed, the Central Bank are aware that RoIs may fail to upload successfully to the Central Bank of Ireland Portal if key preparation steps have not been followed.

The Central Bank has developed clearer error messages for users on the portal, as well as allowing multiple errors to be displayed at once to improve the user experience. Further details on addressing errors can be found in sections 3,  6 and 7 of the system guide linked above. 

Some key, basic points have been included below, which should be followed to ensure a successful upload. 

Key Points

  • The process for uploading RoIs will be the same as last year. If your file was accepted by the portal last year, please maintain the same high level file structure.
  • The Central Bank has enhanced error messaging in the Portal. Once files pass the basic structure checks, multiple errors will be displayed at once, hopefully reducing the number of submission attempts. Also the error messages are more specific in signalling where the errors are.
  • Financial entities must compile and submit their RoI as described in the Implementing Technical Standard on the Register of Information (ITS on Rol), noting any clarifications in the ESAs RoI FAQ on their preparation site and also any corrections to the ITS in the ESAs DORA QAs.
  • The RoI should contain all data as at 31 December 2025 (reference/ reporting date).
  • Financial entities submitting RoIs must have a valid LEI code.
  • The file type financial entities must be using is a XBRL OIM-CSV file in accordance with EBA DPM 4.0. In this regard firms are strongly encouraged to use the CBI external guide (PDF 4.89MB) and the below link to the ESA information on how to prepare the RoI.
  • The ICT third party service providers listed in the RoI will need to have either a valid LEI code or EU-ID* in order for the files to pass validation, along with meeting the other requirements mentioned above (* or other valid code for third country providers according to EBA FAQ  on the preparation site linked below).
  • The ESAs confirmed in their 2024 December workshop (which is recorded and available on the European Banking Authority’s (EBA) register preparation site) that a template or conversion tool would not be provided for the official submission. 
  • On that register preparation site, the ESAs also provide links to many other useful materials for financial entities preparing their RoI including but not limited to:
  • Examples of what your compiled registers should look like - sample files for taxonomy 2.0
  • Lists of possible entries in the drop-down fields in the file.
  • Also in terms of how each csv should be structured, the DPM dictionary (XLSX 1.96MB) and DPM table layout and data point categorization on the same EBA preparation website guides entities and their vendors as to what should be in each of the files.
  • Further documentation on the overall EBA reporting framework 4.0 is also available.
  • When the XBRL OIM-CSV reporting package is fully prepared and checked by you, it should be saved as a .zip file. In the screen for uploading your reporting package in the Central Bank of Ireland Portal there is further information on the naming requirements for the reporting package to be submitted.
  • More information on the upload process can be found in the system guide linked below, on how to upload your prepared RoI to the Central Bank Portal.
