2.1    Taxonomy

The taxonomy was not updated to align with the latest CIPC XBRL Taxonomy 2025 IFRS Data Model, as the latest data model adopted IFRS 18 and IFRS 19 and deprecated the IAS 1 taxonomy. This taxonomy will be adopted when IFRS 18 and IFRS 19 compliance is effective and is adopted. 

2.2    Mandatory page

The following improvements were made to assist with the successful validation:

• Amend ‘Select 'true' if the Annual financial statements independently compiled and reported on. If not, select 'false'’ to be ‘Select 'true' if Annual Financial Statements have not been audited but is independently compiled or reviewed’
• Add Independent Reviewer Name and Date of Independent review of Annual Financial Statements to be on with this selection. 

2.3    Other
