What is it?

ESEF: What you need to know

The European Single Electronic Format (ESEF), mandated by ESMA, requires main market-listed companies in the UK and Europe to submit annual financial statements in machine-readable xHTML format. This enhances analysis, comparability, and accessibility for users such as investors. The mandate requires specialist iXBRL tagging of consolidated reports, following ESMA's guidance. In the UK, UKSEF, a UK-specific taxonomy, mirrors ESEF tagging with some UK-specific tags.

What is ESEF?

Does it affect me?

If your business operates within the EU and is required to publish annual financial statements, ESEF reporting is mandatory. This ensures that your financial data is transparent, accessible, and easily comparable across the market.

What do I need to do?

To comply with ESEF requirements, your business needs to prepare annual financial statements in a digital format using Inline XBRL (iXBRL). This involves tagging your financial data according to ESEF taxonomy, ensuring accurate and standardised reporting.

What's the deadline?

The deadline for ESEF reporting aligns with the annual financial statement publication dates. It is crucial to stay updated on the specific deadlines applicable in your jurisdiction to ensure timely and compliant disclosures.
