Financial Statements. iXBRL

Automation of financial reporting. IFRS. iXBRL taxonomy.

After the amendments to the Law of Ukraine “On Accounting and Financial Reporting in Ukraine” (Article 11, Clause 6), all companies that keep records in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) (mandatory or voluntary) are obliged to submit reporting in XBRL format through a single portal (https://frs.gov.ua). In addition to annual reporting under IFRS with an audit opinion, companies are also required to submit reporting for the three months, six months and nine months ending in the reporting period.
 
To prepare reports in the iXBRL format, it is necessary to use specialized software for compiling and validating the prepared reports. Caseware Financials helps automate routine aspects of the financial statement preparation process. With easy-to-use tools and templates, users can create financial reports quickly and with confidence that these reports have been audited. At the same time, any adjusting journal entries that users import or make directly in the software will update all related financial statement figures, including notes.
 
Preparation of financial statements is quite a time-consuming process for any company, regardless of its size or the specifics of its activity. The difficulty is mainly in performing checks, maintaining constant control of indicators and, if they change, making adjustments that affect other related reports and notes. Especially if it concerns separate and consolidated reporting, or several separate reporting of the Group of Companies. In addition, companies spend a significant amount of time proofreading the report, correcting spelling errors, matching page numbers, footnote references, and footers.
 
If necessary, companies can build their own sets of reports in working documents, which are based on already imported data. For example, it can be statistical reports or management reports. Thus, the Caseware Financials software solution allows you not to duplicate work processes for the preparation of various reporting formats, but to set up automated processes that will do it for employees.
