IRS is available to all JSE Listings staff, as well as to specific external JSE customers.
External users are individuals who are not employed by the JSE. These users will submit certain documents or pieces of information for review and processing by the JSE. External users can submit information on behalf of other organisations or for organisations at which they are employed.
