iXBRL for CIPC Filing

iXBRL is a global digital reporting standard for exchanging business information for financial reporting. 

As of 1st July 2018, the CIPC (Companies and Intellectual Property Commission) has made it mandatory for qualifying entities in South Africa to submit their Annual Financial Statements (AFS) in an iXBRL (Inline eXtensible Business Reporting Language) format. 

The CIPC is also encouraging all entities in South Africa to realize the benefits of iXBRL reporting to improve the quality of their Annual Financial Statements (AFS) through CIPC’s comprehensive business validation rules.

Who Need to file AFS with CIPC in iXBRL format?

All entities—be they companies, closed corporations, publicly or privately listed organizations, or non-profits with a PI Score exceeding 350—must submit their AFS in iXBRL format to the CIPC. The same mandate applies to companies conducting internal audits with a PI Score above 100, cooperatives boasting an annual turnover greater than 10 million Rands, and any organization that has specified in its Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI) an intent to file their AFS using iXBRL.

The submission should include the latest final approved audited or independently reviewed annual financial statements, and both the annual returns and financial statements must be filed on the same day.

Failure to submit Annual Financial Statements (AFS) leads to an investigation, followed by a compliance notice with a specified deadline. Non-compliance may result in fines or formal prosecution. Additionally, not submitting CIPC Annual Returns may lead to entity de-registration and the imposition of penalties.
