Join us for an in-depth webinar focused on one of the most complex and evolving aspects of XBRL reporting: Text Block Tagging. Whether you are working with Microsoft Word or PDF as your source document, this session will help you understand the challenges, techniques, and best practices for producing high-quality XBRL reports that meet regulatory expectations.
We'll begin by examining the differences between Word and PDF documents as source files for XBRL tagging. What are the advantages and limitations of each? Which format provides the most flexibility for accurate tagging, and how do regulators treat them?
Next, we will demonstrate how to properly implement content controls in Word, enabling efficient tagging of long-form narrative sections such as accounting policies, management commentary, or disclosures.
For those working with PDFs, we’ll show how to handle XHTML tagging in non-editable formats, using anchors, layout logic, and mapping techniques to ensure compliance.
Additional topics will include:
- The relationship between text block tags and Inline XBRL (iXBRL)
- Tagging tips to improve validation accuracy
- Common pitfalls to avoid
- How to maintain readability and structure in the final iXBRL output
The session will close with a live Q&A, giving participants the opportunity to ask specific questions and request further clarifications.
This webinar is ideal for professionals involved in financial reporting, regulatory compliance, and XBRL/iXBRL implementation, including preparers, consultants, and auditors.
