EDITOR'S NOTE:
Every quarter has its theme. This one is compliance requirements. The ACH fraud monitoring requirement in June is the kind of change that looks administrative on the surface, but isn't. It requires real process work, and most teams we talk to haven't started yet.
We're also paying close attention to the 64-bit shift in Sage 100 2026. On paper it's a routine upgrade. In practice, it's the kind of change that surfaces integration compatibility issues at the worst possible time: right when you're trying to go live. Our advice: don't wait until April to start your compatibility audit.
The Sage 100 AI tools are genuinely interesting this cycle, but I'd temper expectations. The Help Agent is useful for quick lookups, but not a replacement for knowing your system. Worth trying out for sure!

COMPLIANCE ALERT - ACTION REQUIRED
ACH Rule Changes in 2026: Two Deadlines
If your business processes ACH payments, there are two important Nacha rule changes in 2026—and one requires immediate attention.
While the March update is mostly administrative, the June requirement is more significant. Businesses will need to actively monitor for suspicious transactions, validate changes to account information, and strengthen internal controls.
Think of fraud monitoring not as a hurdle to clear, but as a protective layer for the business you’ve built. It’s about creating a clear-sighted view of your operations so you can spot risks before they become problems. We’re here to help you turn those ‘requirements’ into real peace of mind.
