Previous Release Information

The CIPC implemented iXBRL as a mechanism for filing AFS as a single file with extension .XHTML. This single file constitutes the complete set of reports (primary financial statements, directors' report, auditor’s report, etc.). One of the requirements from CIPC to successfully submit an iXBRL report is that the iXBRL report must be the same as the financials, and therefore must also include the final reports.

We have improved this process by adding the functionality that you can embed an image in the Caseview financials under all the report sections. We have furthermore added all the various reports that are included in financials to ensure that the block tagging is included, and no tagging is required for the users.
