ESEF reporting
The European Single Electronic Format (“ESEF”) came into force a few years ago, bringing complexity and changes to the annual reporting process for listed companies, their auditors and their national supervising bodies. Indeed, it created new challenges such as:
- A complex, collaborative process involving many stakeholders (including data experts, document publishers, software vendors, auditors’ and authorities’ feedback)
- An adaptative process involving regular review of the ESEF requirements, of the ESEF reporting manual and a need to integrate auditors’ and authorities’ requests for feedback.
As a consequence, for auditors, accounting and financial analysts as well as authorities, shaping ESEF reports is a real project per se at the crossroad of business, accounting, legal and ICT domains. Depending on your organisation, business rules and constraints, ESEF can, on the one hand, require comprehensive knowledge and robust tools. It may, on the other hand, be a huge opportunity for you to improve data governance and information flows within the company.
