If there’s one thing global finance and AP teams can rely on, it’s that compliance never stands still. Just when processes seem stable, a new mandate, acronym, or requirement emerges and reshuffles priorities. Falling behind is not an option—but keeping up doesn’t have to be painful either.
That’s why our next Compliance Without the Boring Bits webcast will dig into the issues shaping the compliance landscape right now. Our hosts Markus and Gustav—industry experts with over 50 years of combined experience—will tackle the latest updates, challenge conventional thinking, and share practical lessons from organizations facing these challenges firsthand.
Success factors: More than a checkbox
One theme we’ll explore is what really drives success when implementing compliant invoicing solutions. Too often, projects stall because compliance is treated as a box-ticking exercise rather than a chance to improve processes. Real-life cases show how frustration grows when adoption and local nuances are overlooked—and how, with the right approach, compliance can become a driver of efficiency.
France: From PDP to PA—what it means for businesses
For anyone who thought things in France were finally settling down, the reality is different: the much-discussed “PDP” model has now become “PA” (Plateformes d’Accréditation). This is more than a cosmetic change. It reflects a shift in how the French tax authority envisions certified platforms, and it raises questions about whether companies already preparing under the old framework need to adjust course. We’ll look at what this means in practice, and how businesses can build flexibility into their strategies when timelines and requirements keep moving.
The case for an invoice firewall
Another question on the table: should Accounts Payable have its own “firewall”? IT often underestimates the daily headaches AP teams face. Instead of firefighting errors downstream, what if non-compliant invoices could be filtered out before they ever reach AP systems? We’ll examine what this concept could mean in practice, from safeguarding data quality to accelerating approvals, and why the idea is gaining traction.
Sweden and Norway: Rumor vs. reality
Mandates in Sweden and Norway are generating plenty of buzz—but are they rumor or reality? The Nordics are often seen as digital pioneers, yet the road toward mandates hasn’t been entirely straightforward. Our hosts will separate speculation from fact, giving an honest view of what’s coming and what’s simply chatter.
Poland: When T&E becomes compliance
Poland, meanwhile, has moved the needle further by including Travel and Expense receipts in its compliance framework. This adds a new layer of complexity for organizations, as T&E touches not just AP but HR and employee experience as well. Paper receipts, foreign currencies, and mobile capture tools are all part of the challenge. The webcast will explore how companies are adapting and where automation can ease the burden.
Embracing the inevitable
Finally, the conversation will turn to the broader question: how do organizations embrace the inevitability of change? The only constant in compliance is that rules evolve. The companies that succeed are those that stop reacting and instead build resilience into their processes and systems. Markus and Gustav will share strategies to make compliance a source of efficiency, risk reduction, and even collaboration across finance and IT.
The takeaway? Compliance doesn’t need to feel like an endless uphill climb. With the right insights, it can actually make organizations stronger. And it doesn’t need to be boring.
