When you create your iXBRL report, there is a good chance that you will need to create an extension to the taxonomy elements to perfectly match your accounts. Depending on the size and complexity of your financial reporting, you may even need to create more than a few, and often, your auditor would like a way to review the extensions you've created.
Because of this, we have provided you with the option to download a complete list containing information about all the extensions used in your report.
What is an extension list?
When you start mapping your annual financial report, ESMA requires that you mark up disclosures using the taxonomy element with the closest meaning. If a standard taxonomy element misrepresents the meaning of the account, you need to create an extension. The extensions will display the same information as standard elements on the facts list. They will, however, also display information on how they are anchored within the taxonomy.
