A Unified Guide for Accurate and Efficient Regulatory Reporting
XBRL and iXBRL have become central to how regulators, investors, and markets consume financial information.

Manual processes, late-stage tagging, and inconsistent validation only increase risk under already compressed reporting timelines.
This eBook provides a practical, regulator-aligned guide to preparing, tagging, validating, and scaling XBRL and iXBRL reporting across both SEC and ESEF regimes, without sacrificing accuracy or control.

Frequently Asked Question's (FAQ's)
1. What is the goal of XBRL and iXBRL for SEC and ESEF filers?
XBRL/iXBRL make financial reports machine‑readable and comparable so regulators, investors, and analysts can reliably consume your data. iXBRL bridges the human‑readable report and embedded tags, ensuring one document serves both review and analytics.
2. Which filings require iXBRL under SEC and ESEF?
3. Why does tagging accuracy matter?
Incorrect tags turn a reporting issue into a data issue—impacting analytics, peer comparison, and enforcement checks. Accuracy, consistency, completeness, and clarity are core principles to ensure your filing is interpreted correctly.
4. What are common mistakes teams make under deadline pressure?
Typical issues include inconsistent tagging across periods, overuse of extensions, dimensional and period errors, late‑stage tagging that limits review time, and skipped validation checks as deadlines approach.
5. How does IRIS CARBON® accelerate accurate XBRL/iXBRL tagging?
