IRIS iFILE

IRIS iFILE is an end to end electronic filing framework for regulatory reporting. Comprising several modular components, the framework allows for easy management of the various stages of the disclosure management lifecycle. The framework can be configured for any reporting environment and uses the XBRL information standard as the core format for data collection and validation. It can be installed out of the box as well as customised to meet a specific requirement.

IRIS iFILE is divided into filer and regulator modules. The filer modules allow the filer to create an XBRL instance document for filing a disclosure with the regulator.

The regulator modules consist of several applications stitched together by a portal solution. These components allow the regulator to accept, validate and store instance documents. It also allows the regulator to manage and publish the taxonomy, filings and filing calendar.
