DataTracks Listed as Recommended Software Service Provider (SSP) for iXBRL by CIPC
JOHANNESBURG, October 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Following the developments in Compliance reporting, the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC) - the regulator of Companies in South Africa - launched a program in February 2016 to implement XBRL as the Digital Financial Reporting Standard for qualifying entities, by mandating submission of Annual Financial Statements (AFS) to the CIPC, effective from 1st July, 2018.

Currently, the CIPC receives all Annual Financial Statements (AFS) in PDF format. The PDF format is an unstructured format, which necessitates analysis requiring human intervention and is thus more likely to be prone to errors or missing vital facts. It is a time-consuming exercise with higher chances of inefficiency. CIPC expects the introduction of iXBRL will inject a new dimension of efficiency and improve the overall standard of reporting by bringing in the validation of AFS data against the IFRS taxonomy. By reporting in iXBRL format, it would be both human and machine readable.
After a detailed evaluation of vendors, CIPC has listed the Software Service Providers (SSP) on their website. DataTracks, honed by 12+ years of experience in the XBRL industry has been chosen as one of the SSPs by CIPC. Please refer to the below link from CIPC:
