From Manual to Mastered: The ROI of Automating ESEF Compliance

ESEF was introduced to improve transparency across European capital markets. For many issuers, it has added operational strain. XHTML authoring, iXBRL tagging, and ongoing taxonomy updates now sit on top of an already compressed reporting cycle. When managed manually or across disconnected tools, ESEF compliance becomes slow, fragile, and difficult to scale.

IRIS CARBON® provides a connected disclosure management approach that helps European issuers author, tag, validate, and manage ESEF reports with greater control and confidence, without last-minute conversions or rework.
