EESPA undertakes research and makes recommendations through its Public Policy and Compliance Working Group, which is open to all members on a voluntary basis. It engages with stakeholder forums and EU decision-makers in relation to public policy areas and compliance issues to promote good practice and optimal solutions.
Compliance is defined as those activities undertaken by service providers and their clients to ensure compliance with laws and regulations impacting invoicing and related processes.
PPCWG's work streams
Within the PPCWG, work is currently focused on two main work-streams supported by work on other topics as they arise:
- Compliance: Improving the EESPA definitions and Responsibility Matrix. Developing guidance to members for the management of compliance when inter-operating with other service providers in a four-corner model.
- Continuous Transaction Controls (CTCs); monitoring and providing guidance to members on CTC developments in Europe and world-wide. Making recommendations for greater harmonization based on clear principles and good practices.
MEETINGS
The PPCWG reports on its activities at teh GEneral assemblies in May and Nov and holds monthly virtual meetings on the 4th Tuesday of each month in 2023. Members interested in the topic are asked to join the Working group and register for each of the meetings.
