# Introduction

> Welcome to PensionsPortal.ie — your platform for managing IORP II compliance as a trustee of an Irish occupational pension scheme.

# Welcome, Trustee

PensionsPortal.ie helps trustees of Irish occupational pension schemes manage their IORP II compliance obligations — from the Annual Compliance Statement to the Own-Risk Assessment, Key Function Holders, and written policies.

## Why You Need This

IORP II raised the governance bar significantly for Irish pension trustees. You are now personally responsible for ensuring your scheme meets a detailed set of regulatory requirements — and the Pensions Authority actively monitors compliance.

The challenge: these requirements are complex, interconnected, and have real deadlines. Missing them has consequences.

PensionsPortal.ie gives you the structure, guidance, and documentation tools to stay on top of every obligation — without needing to be a regulatory expert.

## Where to Start

If you're new to the platform:

1. Read [Your IORP II Obligations](/trustee-guide/your-obligations) — a plain-language summary of what you must do and when
2. Check your [Compliance Calendar](/trustee-guide/compliance-calendar) for upcoming deadlines
3. Start with the most pressing item — typically the [Annual Compliance Statement](/trustee-guide/completing-your-acs) if it's due

If you're looking for regulatory background, the [IORP II Reference](/iorp2/overview) section covers the directive in detail.

## Important Note
