DORA compliance is mandatory for EU financial institutions starting January 2025, with fines reaching €1 million or 2% of global turnover for non-compliance.
As financial institutions across Europe race to comply with the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), a critical bottleneck has emerged—the DORA Register of Information (ROI) submission format.
The European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) have provided structured Excel templates for collecting the required data. However, when it comes to actually submitting the report, only one format is accepted:
❌ Excel is not valid for submission
✅ Only XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) files will be accepted
This creates a major operational and compliance gap. Teams are doing the hard work of compiling data—only to find they can’t complete the process.
