1.1 Taxonomy

The taxonomy was updated to align with the latest CIPC XBRL Taxonomy 2024 IFRS Data Model, including all changes from the 2023 Data Model.

1.2 Mandatory page

The taxonomy and validation changes implemented resulted in the following changes on the Mandatory page:

Area	Guidance on completion
Name of auditor
Practice number of auditor
Name of audit firm
Type of auditor's opinion
Holding company	Complete null if NA
Ultimate holding company	Complete null if NA
Name of director authorised to approve annual financial statements	Signatories of Directors Report
Were there any directors' emoluments paid?
Directors emoluments

The following financial information was added to the Mandatory page. If not applicable for the current period, a footnote will be required to indicate a nil value:

Financial information	Guidance on completion
Retained income (equity)
Equity and liabilities
Administrative expenses
Profit (loss), attributable to owners of parent	Consolidation only
Profit (loss), attributable to non-controlling interest	Consolidation only
Non-controlling interest	Consolidation only

1.3 PI Score calculation

The PI Score calculation in document 01.25 PI Score Calculation - Engagement Type and Basis of Preparation and the Mandatory page relevant to iXBRL, were previously based on post-adjustment figures.

In this release, document 01.25 has been updated to use pre-adjustment figures, as the engagement type and basis of preparation are determined at the beginning of the engagement.

As a result, the PI Score calculation on the Mandatory page will differ from 01.25, as the Mandatory page will continue to use post-adjustment figures consistent with the final Financial Statement values.

1.4 Other

1.4.1 Period Settings

Ensure that the period settings are set to yearly before validation.

1.5 Improvements

1.5.1 SME Lite

The Total asset prior year group figure calculation was updated
The right click on/off functionality works correctly to switch lines on/off

1.5.2 IFRS Lite

Header 18 was adjusted to correctly show the current and prior year

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.
