iXBRL: Easing Financial Compliance in the Digital Era
Since the day the iXBRL concept was introduced by the CIPC, South-African companies have been hustling with additional compliance requirements and overburdening their finance professionals. However, that’s not why iXBRL was introduced; it was instituted to standardize the financial reporting process and reduce the compliance burden of businesses.
No matter what approach business owners take – hire an in-house expert or outsource the filing process, iXBRL is here to stay.
Speaking of hiring in-house professionals and outsourcing, which is best for your business?
There are several reasons to in-source but innumerable reasons to outsource.
Some of which are:-
● Understanding iXBRL Tagging and Taxonomy Requires Expertise
Comprehending the taxonomy and tagging of iXBRL is no walk in the park. You may know about the taxonomy; however, it requires expertise and training to ace the domain. And being a business owner/stakeholder, you want to focus on your core business operations. Moreover, outsourcing service providers are already equipped with the right software and expertise, so why not leverage that to your benefit?
● It’s More Convenient to Outsource
You may be pondering over the thought, “why outsource when I can simply hand it over to my finance team,” right? Well, here is where the burden begins to add up. First, you must train the team and get them well-versed with iXBRL tagging and taxonomy. Additionally, there’s the additional task of staying updated with the changes introduced by the CIPC. So why not let your accountant do the job he/she is precisely hired to do? Moreover, it is a better and more efficient approach if you have access to outsourced service providers at cost-friendly prices.
