ESG reporting with the AMANA XBRL Tagger
The European Commission has adopted the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) for use by all companies subject to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). It defines around 178 sector-agnostic disclosure requirements, sector specific disclosure requirements. Those disclosure requirements describe hundreds of single data points and narrative disclosures that must be reported in a human-readable report, as well as in a digital and machine-readable format.
Included are data points on water and energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, pollution, biodiversity as well as many social aspects like disclosures on workforce. Policies, targets, and specific action plans will have to be reported in order to see how companies are going to face the challenges of a changing world and climate change.
In our webinar, we are going to summarize the challenges regarding the actual reporting and publication process focusing tagging of sustainability statements with the ESRS XBRL taxonomy.
We will show how our XBRL Tagger will make it possible to easily and simply perform the tagging process and the generation of an iXBRL report.

SmartNotes - Layout-Roboter, InDesign-Converter and SN-Layout-Helper
With our two-part SmartNotes layout module - consisting of the InDesign Converter and the Layout Robot - we enable you to create a print-ready report directly from SmartNotes. You can take two different paths with our solutions. If you continue to work with your external layout agency or your internal layout team, e.g. your IR department, then you can use our InDesign Converter to avoid time-consuming and costly correction loops. With it, you can do up to 80% of the preliminary work in terms of layout and provide your agency with a directly processable document. Alternatively, you can use our layout robot in SmartNotes to create a print-ready report. It can be flexibly adapted to your table layout and controls it centrally, so you can achieve a consistent print-ready report layout in no time at all.

Introduction to XBRL
XBRL is the de facto standard for digital, structured, financial reporting. Whether it's ESEF, ESG, FINREP or investment firms, many companies use XBRL in one form or another because they have to. But why do we actually do it? In this talk, let's start from the beginning and explain the basics of XBRL, why this format is used and what the benefits are for everyone involved and where it is headed in the future.

How to solve ESG reporting and publication challenges with AMANA & Envoria
The latest European Sustainability Reporting Standard (ESRS) exposure drafts defining sector-agnostic disclosure requirements were published in November. The new drafts significantly reduce the number of disclosure requirements and data points. However, this reduction should not obscure the burden that continues to be placed on companies. 84 disclosure requirements and 1,144 quantitative and qualitative data points still must be reported.
To ensure reporting in accordance with the ESRS in due time, companies required to disclose ESRS information need to invest time now and set up or optimize their data collection and reporting process.
Together with our partner Envoria, SaaS specialist in sustainability reporting, we summarize the challenges regarding the reporting and publication process, which includes:
● How to understand the regulatory objectives
● How to calculate, collect, and consolidate required data points
● How to work collaboratively on sustainability statements using supportive tools
● How to automate the data flow from various sources into management reports
● How to digitally tag stainability and financial statements with the ESRS or ISSB XBRL taxonomy
● How to handle formatting and the production of glossy and ready-to-print reports
● How to implement the audit and publication of the final report

How to get ready for auditing the upcoming ESEF season
The ESEF regulation mandates listed companies to publish their annual financial reports in iXBRL digital format. In many EU countries, the ESEF reports also have to be audited or reviewed. The main challenge of auditing iXBRL reports is the technical validation, checking of tags selected by the report creator and the comparison of the traditional format (PDF) with the new iXBRL format. Auditing iXBRL reports requires new knowledge for auditors and can only be done with a proper certified XBRL software.
In the webinar we explain how the XBRL Auditor can be used to face this challenge, and which new features have been implemented in the latest version to make the auditing process a lot easier.
The AMANA XBRL Auditor was developed on the basis of our many years of experience from hundreds of XBRL projects with a clear focus on the review and audit of iXBRL reports according to the ESEF regulation. Moreover, our software is already successfully used by numerous audit firms including Big Four firms. In our webinar, we will show you the features and benefits of the XBRL Auditor when auditing ESEF reports, as well as our experiences from the first years of ESEF.
