UKSEF approach

1 minute read

The UKSEF approach uses a standard feature of iXBRL called Multiple XBRL Target Documents. This allows a single iXBRL report to generate multiple, distinct XBRL instance documents, each tailored for a different purpose or audience. For example, a single iXBRL report could contain XBRL facts intended for two different regulators.

Under the UKSEF approach:

  • The default target document: Contains facts submitted to the FCA (e.g. consolidated financial statements), tagged using ESEF Taxonomy.
  • The UKFRS target document: Contains facts submitted to Companies House (e.g. SECR disclosures), tagged using the FRC Taxonomy Suite.

To support the UKSEF approach the FRC Taxonomy Suite includes two entry points: ‘IFRS-UKSEF’ and ‘FRS-102-UKSEF’. These entry points must be used in UKSEF reports in place of FRS-102 or IFRS entry points (FRS-101 is not applicable to UKSEF reports).
