The XBRL Report Comparer provides a way to compare two versions of a report (the zip file within the submission folder of the ESEF report generated via the CtrlPrint platform). Please note that you need to have created two zip-files before you start using this function.
You can find this function in the top menu under Tools. The application will automatically detect changed values and added or removed facts. The results can be exported as an Excel file via the File menu in that window. Double-clicking on an entry in the results list will display a new window with more detailed information.
- Current Report = zip file 1
- New Report = zip file 2
- Old Value = value in zip file 1
- New Value = value in zip file 2
Differences in numerical values tend to be easy to identify whereas differences in a long text can be more difficult to detect. The two versions of the tagged area are displayed side by side and the differences are highlighted in different colours.
