The European Single Electronic Format

The European Single Electronic Format is the electronic format to be used by all publishers to submit annual financial reports on the use of listed companies starting from 1 January 2020, in accordance with the provisions of the Transparency Directive (2004/109 / EC, as amended by Directive 2013/50 / EU), in order to facilitate the accessibility, analysis and comparability of annual financial reports.
 

What does the ESEF entail?

• Annual financial reports are to be prepared in xHTML format.
