Key Features of IRIS CARBON® for KVK SBR Reporting
Intelligent SBR & iXBRL Tagging
Effortlessly embed SBR tags directly within your financial statements. Our platform supports both the "Inrichtingsjaarrekening" and "Publicatiestukken" (Publication Pieces) formats required by the Dutch Chamber of Commerce.
Pre-Filing Validation Engine
Don't wait for a rejection email. Our real-time validator checks your reports against the latest SBR rules, identify inconsistencies, and ensures compliance with Title 9, Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code.
Collaborative Review & Approval
Streamline the "last mile" with role-based permissions. Enable your internal teams and external auditors (RAs) to review, comment, and sign off on the digital instance directly within the platform.
The IRIS CARBON® Approach to KVK Compliance
We follow a 4-step "Maestro" process to ensure your Dutch filings are stress-free
What IRIS CARBON® Means for Companies
For finance teams, IRIS CARBON® is a Disclosure Management hub that eliminates the "manual scramble" of the KVK filing season.
| Unified Reporting Workflow | Companies can create their “Inrichtingsjaarrekening” (internal accounts) and “Publicatiestukken” (public filings) from a single source of truth, ensuring 100% consistency across all versions. |
| System-to-System Automation | Directly integrate with existing Dutch accounting systems like AFAS, Exact, or SAP to automate data ingestion and eliminate manual entry errors. |
| “First-Time-Right” Validation | The platform includes a pre-filing validation engine that mirrors KVK’s Digipoort gatekeeper. This allows teams to identify and fix “Blocking Errors” before submission, avoiding last-minute rejections. |
| Taxonomy Management | IRIS handles the annual updates to the Nederlandse Taxonomie (NT). Companies don’t need to manually re-map their accounts every year; the software manages the “roll-forward” of previous mappings to the latest standards. |
| Reduced Reporting Costs | By automating the “Last Mile” of reporting—tagging, validation, and submission—companies can reduce reporting expenses by up to 60% while accelerating the process by 4x. |
What IRIS CARBON® Means for Auditors
For finance teams, IRIS CARBON® is a Disclosure Management hub that eliminates the "manual scramble" of the KVK filing season.
| Human-Readable “SBR Viewer” | Auditors no longer need to “read” raw XBRL code. The platform renders the digital file into a clean, human-readable format, making it easy to verify that the tags accurately represent the underlying financial data. |
| Detailed Audit Trails | Every change, comment, and approval is recorded with a timestamped audit trail. Auditors can see exactly who changed a value or a tag, and why, which is critical for ISAE 3000/3402 compliance. |
| Collaborative Review Environment | Auditors can be invited directly into the platform to review “live” drafts. They can leave comments and feedback on specific tags or line items, eliminating the need for fragmented email chains and Excel-based review logs. |
| Digital Sign-off Readiness | As the KVK moves toward mandatory digital assurance for large entities, IRIS CARBON® provides the necessary infrastructure for auditors to sign off on the digital instance itself, rather than just a paper PDF. |
| Risk Mitigation | The built-in validation rules check for calculation inconsistencies and mandatory disclosure gaps, significantly reducing the “audit churn” caused by technical filing errors. |

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)
What is SBR and why is it mandatory for KVK?
Standard Business Reporting (SBR) is the national framework for digital reporting in the Netherlands. It ensures that financial data is exchanged between businesses and government agencies (like KVK and the Tax Authorities) in a standardized, machine-readable format.
Does IRIS CARBON support "Small" and "Micro" entity filings?
While our platform is optimized for the complex needs of “Medium” and “Large” entities (who face stricter disclosure requirements), we provide a scalable solution for any organization that requires high-quality iXBRL output.
How does IRIS handle the annual Dutch Taxonomy (NT) updates?
We monitor the Logius and SBR-nl updates constantly. When a new version of the taxonomy is released, we automatically update our platform and assist you in “rolling forward” your previous year’s mappings.
Is your submission process secure?
Yes. We use a secure “System-to-System” connection via Digipoort, authenticated by PKIoverheid certificates, ensuring your filing reaches the KVK register safely.
What types of financial statements can be filed through IRIS CARBON® for KVK?
IRIS CARBON® supports both Inrichtingsjaarrekening (full financial statements) and Publicatiestukken (publication documents) required by the Dutch Chamber of Commerce. We ensure compliance with the correct reporting schema based on your entity size and filing obligation.
Can IRIS CARBON® integrate with my existing accounting or ERP system?
Yes. Our platform integrates seamlessly with widely used Dutch systems such as AFAS, Exact, Twinfield, Unit4, and global ERPs like SAP and Oracle. This ensures a smooth “system-to-system” workflow for SBR filings.
How does IRIS CARBON® help avoid KVK ‘Blocking Errors’?
Our validation engine mirrors the rules enforced by KVK/Digipoort. Errors and inconsistencies are highlighted in real time, allowing your finance team to correct issues before submission — significantly reducing rejection risk.
Can external auditors access and review my SBR/iXBRL report within the platform?
Yes. The platform includes secure, role‑based reviewer access for your auditors (RAs). They can review tagging, leave comments, and validate the SBR content directly, improving audit efficiency.
Do you support XBRL/iXBRL tagging for both Dutch GAAP and IFRS?
Absolutely. IRIS CARBON® supports tagging for both Dutch GAAP and IFRS-based financial statements as required under the Dutch Taxonomy (NT), ensuring complete compliance for different types of entities.
Do you support filing amendments or corrections after a KVK submission?
Yes. IRIS CARBON® allows you to create and file corrected versions of previously submitted reports, following the KVK amendment guidelines.
What happens if the Dutch Taxonomy changes after we start preparing our report?
If a new NT version becomes mandatory while your filing is in progress, our team will remap and update your report to the required version, ensuring readiness for the latest mandate.
Is it possible to create both ESEF and KVK filings from the same source document?
Yes. For OOBs (Public Interest Entities), IRIS CARBON® supports the “Create Once, File Twice” workflow, enabling you to generate both ESEF (AFM) and SBR (KVK) submissions accurately from a unified source.
What level of training or support does IRIS CARBON® provide during the filing cycle?
We offer comprehensive onboarding, live training sessions, and 24/7 expert support. Our Dutch reporting specialists are available throughout your preparation, audit, and submission phases.
How does IRIS CARBON® ensure data security for unpublished financials?
The platform is SOC 2, ISAE 3000, and ISAE 3402 certified, and uses Digipoort’s PKIoverheid certificates for secure system-to-system transmission — ensuring robust protection for sensitive financial data.
