Le balisage des blocs de texte ESEF
Au cours des deux dernières années, toutes les entreprises soumises au format ESEF ne devaient baliser que les Etats financiers primaires. Les entités déclarantes devront désormais se conformer aux nouvelles exigences pour les exercices ouverts à compter du 1er janvier 2022.
L’ESMA a publié les nouvelles recommandations sur l’ESEF avec de nombreux changements importants. Cette année, l’ESMA a travaillé en étroite collaboration avec la communauté et a apporté des améliorations et des clarifications très demandées au manuel. Le grand sujet de la prochaine période de rapport est bien sûr le balisage des blocs de texte. De nouvelles sections du manuel décrivent la portée et l’intention, ainsi que les défis techniques liés à cette exigence.
Comme toujours, il est primordial de commencer tôt dans la saison et de préparer le premier balisage bien à l’avance. Avec notre nouvelle version de XBRL Tagger, vous pouvez commencer à baliser dès maintenant et ainsi être prêts pour la prochaine saison ESEF. Compléter le balisage de bloc de texte suffisamment tôt, vous permettra d’avoir un rapport « à blanc » pour analyser les effets sur votre clôture financière.
Notre conseil : Nous vous recommandons d’impliquer vos auditeurs dans cet exercice à un stade très précoce afin d’éviter des allers et retours en période de clôture. Il peut également être important d’impliquer toutes les autres parties prenantes: normes et méthodes, relations investisseurs, agence de conception et fournisseur de services.
ESEF text block tagging with the AMANA XBRL Tagger
Be prepared to tackle the new challenges of text block tagging with our certified XBRL Tagger:
- Nested tagging and multi-tagging of text block tags
- Persisting text block tags through different iterations of a PDF document
- Editing already tagged text block areas
- Using the mapping clipboard to transfer and restore tags
- Auto-detection of tables in PDF
- Auto-tagging of text blocks that have been prepared in Word documents
Keep in mind, when you create a new PDF version of your report you want to make sure that you do not have to start all over with the tagging. If you create a new PDF, the comments that you may have made to the old PDF are not automatically rolled forward. We recommend that you tagging an early version of your PDF document, and add changes to it as you share the iterations of your text block tagging with auditors and other stakeholders. The AMANA XBRL Tagger will enable you to retain the text block tags through multiple iterations of the same PDF document as needed.

Webinars about text block tagging
How to audit the upcoming ESEF text block taggings
The ESEF regulation mandates listed companies to publish their annual financial reports in iXBRL digital format. In many EU countries, the ESEF reports also have to be audited or reviewed. The main challenge of auditing iXBRL reports is the technical validation, checking of tags selected by the report creator and the comparison of the traditional format (PDF) with the new iXBRL format. Auditing iXBRL reports requires new knowledge for auditors and can only be done with a proper certified XBRL software.
Starting from 2022, the full notes to the financial statements have to be tagged with text block taggings, additionally to the main financial statements, which is a new challenge for preparers and audit firms. Various technical and business details have to be considered as part of the assurance.
In the webinar we explain the new rule, and show how the XBRL Auditor can used to face the challenge, and which new features have been implemented in the version 1.2 to facilitate the textblock tagging assurance.
The AMANA XBRL Auditor was developed on the basis of our many years of experience from hundreds of XBRL projects with a clear focus on the review and audit of iXBRL reports according to the ESEF regulation. Moreover, our software is already successfully used by numerous audit firms including Big Four firms .In our webinar, we will show you the features and benefits of the XBRL Auditor when auditing ESEF reports, as well as our experiences from the first year of ESEF.
