For those responsible for listed company reporting, ESEF creates additional processes and outputs to prepare for. There is a huge amount of XBRL information available, but this can be confusing - there are many different solutions on offer, each with pros and cons, and not all solutions may work for everyone.

This 60-minute online sofa seminar is a practical guide to ESEF. It demystifies the requirements, and provides information to help you choose the most suitable approach for your needs. We will also explain how ESEF can be used as a first step towards better digital reporting over the next few years.

We’ll cover:

What ESEF is: The basic requirements for your next report – filing and online

Different approaches: The main solutions for tagging, and how we expect new tools to emerge

The best solutions currently available: After three years testing and research, we summarise their pros and cons

How to deliver your ESEF report:The stages, tasks, and processes (and what current ESEF reports look like)

The future of reporting: How technology will shape reporting over the coming years – enabling the transition to digital-first.
