CSRD Compliance Skill

Last verified: 2026-08-15

⚠️ The Omnibus changed this framework materially in 2026. Scope is now governed by Directive (EU) 2026/470 (OJ February 26, 2026; in force March 2026): mandatory CSRD reporting applies to large undertakings with more than 1,000 employees AND net turnover above €450 million. Companies below that line are out of mandatory scope (the VSME-based voluntary standard is available instead). On July 3, 2026 the Commission adopted the delegated acts with the revised, simplified ESRS (mandatory datapoints cut by roughly 61%) — currently in the Parliament/Council scrutiny period (2 months, extendable by 2), with entry into force expected Q4 2026. Revised ESRS apply for financial years beginning January 1, 2027; FY2026 early adoption is permitted only once the delegated act enters into force. Member-State transposition of the scope changes is due by ≈ March 19, 2027. Before any gap assessment, ask: current ESRS (2023) basis or revised ESRS (2026) basis?
