GDPR for Accountants
Get to grips with GDPR
The current legislation is now two decades old and the aim of the GDPR is to update the rules on data protection and to harmonise the level of protection across the EU regarding the privacy of their personal data. The EU wants to give control back to citizens and residents over their personal data and to simplify the regulatory environment for international business by unifying the regulation within the EU.
These resources are aimed at keeping accountants in practice up to date with GDPR, helping you prepare for compliance by 25th May 2018.

Solutions to help you achieve compliance
IRIS OpenSpace – secure document exchange
IRIS Docs stores all clients’ correspondence digitally, including tax returns and accounts details from IRIS. Practices can limit the client data visible to each staff member, ensure client ‘paperwork’ is easily located and could be deleted if requested.
IRIS OpenSpace is a secure document exchange portal that ensures documents such as tax returns and final accounts can be shared with clients in a secure manner. This eliminates the need to send these sensitive documents using unsecured email.
Data management via a single database
The IRIS Accountancy Suite with its centralised database, provides a single location to view, edit and delete the data you’re keeping on your clients

How are IRIS preparing?
Under the GDPR, there are key differences in what data you store, how you store it and for how long. You and your team need to be mindful of these new requirements and your practice or firm needs to have a strategy in place for how you will ensure compliance.
If you’re using IRIS you can be confident that the IRIS accountancy software and business systems on which you store and process data are fully secure, with a centralised database at the heart of the software helping with compliance under the GDPR.
