FRC Taxonomies

The FRC develop and maintain the UK and Irish digital reporting taxonomies on behalf of a cross-government group of departments and regulators.

The UK and Irish digital reporting taxonomies include:

  • The FRC Taxonomy Suite
  • The Irish Taxonomy
  • The Charities Taxonomy

These taxonomies digitise reporting standards, enabling entities to submit regulatory filings in a machine-readable, structured format. This initiative aims to foster a technologically advanced ecosystem for exchanging financial, sustainability, and other data among preparers, data collectors, and data consumers.

Taxonomy development is overseen by longstanding, multi-stakeholder governance bodies: the XBRL UK Technical Task Force, the XBRL UK Governance Committee, and the FRC Executive Committee. These Committees include staff from His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC), Companies House, Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), the Charity Commission for England and Wales (CCEW), and the Office of the Revenue Commissioners of Ireland (Irish Revenue), XBRL UK, and leading advisors.
