It concludes that Inline XBRL is the most suitable technology to meet the EU requirement for issuers to report their annual financial reports in a single electronic format because it enables both machine and human readability in one document. \u00a0\u00a0<!--more Read more--><\/p>\n<p class=\"kl-iconbox__desc\" align=\"justify\">The digital format will allow users such as investors, analysts and auditors to carry out software supported analysis and comparison of large amounts of financial information. Access to annual financial reports for both professional and retail investors is essential for creating robust capital markets across the EU.<\/p>\n<h4 class=\"\">Steven Maijoor, ESMA Chair, said<\/h4>\n<p class=\"kl-iconbox__desc\" align=\"justify\">\u201cFinancial reports are crucial for a full understanding of a company\u2019s situation and moving to electronic reporting will facilitate analysis, comparability and accessibility of issuers\u2019 financial statements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"kl-iconbox__desc\" align=\"justify\">&#8220;We believe that the vast pool of free, structured financial information that will emerge once electronic reporting starts will trigger technological innovation. The Inline XBRL format has the potential to bring financial reporting into the digital age.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"kl-iconbox__desc\" align=\"justify\">The main conclusions in ESMA\u2019s statement are:<\/p>\n<p class=\"kl-iconbox__desc\" align=\"justify\">Issuers must prepare their annual financial reports in the human readable XHTML (Extensible Hyper Text Markup Language) format, which can be read by standard browsers without the need for specialised tools;<\/p>\n<p class=\"kl-iconbox__desc\" align=\"justify\">Only where annual financial reports contain IFRS consolidated financial statements must issuers label this information using XBRL (Extensible Business Reporting Language), which is machine-readable. The XBRL data is embedded directly into the XHTML document through the Inline XBRL format. ESMA may extend mandatory labelling of information using XBRL to other parts of the annual financial report or to financial statements prepared under third country GAAP at a later stage; and<\/p>\n<p class=\"kl-iconbox__desc\" align=\"justify\">The IFRS Foundation\u2019s Taxonomy should be used to transfer financial information into structured data for the electronic reporting of IFRS financial statements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"kl-iconbox__desc\" align=\"justify\">ESMA will focus on developing the detailed technical rules, field test its proposed solution and afterwards submit the technical standard to the European Commission for endorsement around year-end 2017.<\/p>\n<p class=\"kl-iconbox__desc\" align=\"justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esma.europa.eu\/press-news\/esma-news\/esma-proposes-new-digital-format-issuers%E2%80%99-financial-reporting\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.esma.europa.eu\/press-news\/esma-news\/esma-proposes-new-digital-format-issuers%E2%80%99-financial-reporting<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) has today published a feedback statement setting out the digital format which issuers in the European Union (EU) must use to report their company information from 1 January 2020.
