Proposed Changes to the 2018 IFRS Taxonomy
These improvements include changes to the content and technical structure of the IFRS Taxonomy, such as:
- introducing implementation notes that explain how to use specific IFRS Taxonomy elements and how to avoid tagging errors
- introducing the duration element type for reporting information about a period of time, which should achieve more consistent tagging
- removing entry points without documentation labels to make it easier to access the IFRS Taxonomy
These changes are open for public comment until February 4th, 2019. The proposed update can be accessed in its entirety here. Comments can be made through the IFRS website.
