Peppol Committee

The Peppol Industry Committee looks to support software developers and interested parties involved in developing and adopting eInvoicing solutions in Australia, New Zealand and across the Peppol network. This Committee is currently co-chairing the A-NZ Peppol All Stakeholders Working Group and associated focus groups.

Understanding that Peppol is more than just eInvoicing, this Committee will also have a focus on other eDelivery opportunities for our members and the wider eInvoicing community.
