ESEF reporting software FAQ

Who needs ESEF reporting software?
Issuers with securities admitted to trading on EU regulated markets must prepare annual financial reports in ESEF format. Doc2iXBRL helps finance and IR teams produce IFRS-tagged iXBRL with reviewer control, validation and roll-forward.
What is block tagging in ESEF?
Block tagging requires disclosure notes to be tagged as blocks with the corresponding IFRS taxonomy elements. It has been mandatory for ESEF annual reports since the 2022 financial year.
Does Doc2iXBRL support the full IFRS taxonomy?
Yes. The platform ships with the latest IFRS taxonomy aligned to ESMA's ESEF specification, including extension creation and anchoring where required.
How does ESEF validation work?
Every package is validated with Arelle against ESEF filing rules and calculation checks before export. Failures are surfaced inline so your team can fix them before submission.
Can we review tags before filing?
Yes. Primary statements, block-tagged notes, extensions, contexts and units are all reviewable in the visual editor. Nothing is exported until a reviewer signs off.
