Questions people ask first
What is the difference between a DPO and a DPCO?
A DPO is your officer — an internal role, or an outsourced individual, accountable for data protection inside your organisation. A DPCO is a firm or individual licensed by the Commission to audit and file on behalf of others.
You may need both, and one cannot substitute for the other. People are sold the wrong one regularly.
Can I file it myself?
Only if you are not a controller of major importance. Above that line the return must go through a licensed DPCO — a firm or individual officer authorised by the Commission — and self-signing is not an option however competent your team is.
When is the audit return due?
31 March, for the preceding year. The pack itself should be assembling from January, which leaves two months to fix whatever it surfaces rather than two weeks.
