Introduction
This document is intended to provide guidelines to European regulators in the implementation and roll out of
the reporting standard using XBRL across Europe.
The set of recommendations included in this document aim to facilitate the implementation of European
National Supervisors to adopt XBRL in any of the reporting frameworks. The following sections will provide
guidance on the use, understanding, preparation, and extension of their filings in eXtensible Business
Reporting Language (XBRL).
This guidance is in the form of notes in association with the pertaining requirements clause and uses the
terms “should” (recommendation), “may” (allowance) and “can” (possibility). Organizations wishing to
implement this CWA would be expected to consider all recommendations where the term "should" is used.
COREP, FINREP (and Solvency II or other future) XBRL taxonomies are offered to European regulators for
national implementation. The first releases (2006) of the COREP and FINREP XBRL frameworks have proven
that a standardized technical roll-out package is needed to increase the adoption rate and avoid
implementation variances, which have a detrimental effect on the overall cross-border effectiveness of using
one reporting standard. As well this roll-out guide tries to promote the economies of scale for a better
adoption.
Scope
This CWA is a general guide to XBRL oriented towards national regulators on how to implement, extend and
manage XBRL taxonomies. The guidance and recommendations included in this CWA have been created for
regulatory filings in the context of European supervisory reporting.
In this document, “regulatory filings” encompasses authoritative financial reporting standards and generally accepted accounting principles/practices (or GAAP), regulatory reports whose subject matter is primarily financial position and performance and related explanatory disclosures, and data sets used in the collection of financial statistics; it excludes transaction- or journal-level reporting, primarily narrative reports (for example, internal controls assessments) and non-financial quantitative reports (for example, air pollution measurements).
