He highlights that around 50,000 major European companies are adopting iXBRL for their financial reporting, driven by regulations such as the European Single Electronic Format (ESEF) and the upcoming Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The article emphasizes the limitations of traditional methods like PDF tagging and the emergence of a ‘digital-first’ strategy using HTML-based content management systems. This approach promises to streamline reporting processes and effectively address XBRL tagging challenges. DeVille outlines the benefits of digital-first reporting, particularly in automating the reporting process, including XBRL tagging. He discusses how new tools are offering user-friendly interfaces and accurate tagging capabilities. While automation is promising, DeVille stresses the importance of high-quality tagging, with human analysis remaining crucial for compliance and accuracy.
