The ARKK Automation Platform automates the MMIF return for Irish-domiciled investment and money market funds, converting fund data into validated XML files for submission to the Central Bank of Ireland (CBI). Built-in machine learning checks every submission for consistency before filing.
Funds still relying on Excel face avoidable risk as the CBI's new XML filing standard takes effect. Manual processes are error-prone, hard to scale, and expose fund managers to non-compliance as reporting requirements tighten.

+ What is MMIF reporting?
The MMIF (Money Market Investments Fund) return is an XML-based filing introduced by the Central Bank of Ireland to monitor the size, composition, and risks of Irish-domiciled investment and money market funds. It replaces the previous Excel-based submissions and standardises how asset and liability data is reported across the sector. Money Market funds must report from January 2026, with Investment Funds reporting quarterly for the first half of 2026 before moving to monthly submissions from July 2026.
+ How does ARKK automate MMIF compliance?
ARKK's Automation Platform aggregates fund data from any source, validates and maps it against the CBI's XML schema automatically, and files a submission-ready return directly with the Central Bank of Ireland. Built-in machine learning checks every submission for consistency, and the platform maintains a full audit trail across every return.
+ How long does it take to implement ARKK's MMIF solution?
The ARKK Automation Platform is designed to be operational in weeks, not months. The modular structure means implementation scope is defined by what you need, so fund managers that require only part of the process can go live faster than those implementing the full end-to-end solution. Your dedicated Customer Success team provides guidance throughout onboarding and extended support around reporting deadlines.
+ Does ARKK integrate with existing ERP and data systems?
Yes. The ARKK platform is source-agnostic, meaning it connects to data from any system, whether that is a fund accounting system, ERP, or spreadsheet-based process. Data is ingested once and reused across multiple reporting processes without limits on volume or complexity.
+ How is data secured on the ARKK platform?
ARKK software is ISO 27001 certified, the internationally recognised standard for information security management. The platform includes customisable workflows, defined team roles, and built-in validations, ensuring that access controls and data integrity are maintained throughout the reporting lifecycle.
+ What are risks of managing MMIF returns manually?
Fund managers still relying on Excel-based processes face avoidable risk as the CBI's new XML standard takes effect. Manual processes are prone to error, slow to scale across large portfolios, and can result in rejected filings or missed deadlines, particularly as reporting shifts from quarterly to monthly from July 2026.
