ESEF iXBRL Reporting with IRIS CARBON®

As per the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) mandate, from January 2020, all publicly traded companies in the European Union (EU) must file their annual financial reports in Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) format, which includes Inline XBRL (iXBRL) for the main financial statements. The IRIS CARBON® platform provides a streamlined and simplified process for ESEF iXBRL reporting, allowing issuers to create, tag, validate, review, and submit their ESEF-compliant documents with ease. In this page, we will describe the workflow of the IRIS CARBON® ESEF iXBRL reporting solution in detail.

Our ESEF iXBRL reporting workflow includes the following steps:

Step 1

Create Annual Report

The user creates the Annual Report using an authoring tool that enables them to update the narratives and financials.

Step 3

XBRL Tagging

As per Phase II of the ESEF Mandate, the Notes to the Consolidated Statements are XBRL tagged along with the Primary Financial Statements by the XBRL domain experts while retaining the formatting and stylization of the Annual Report.
