Mapping company’s financial data with taxonomy elements
Mapping is the process of comparing the concepts
in the financial statements to the elements in the published taxonomy,
assigning a taxonomy element to each accounting concept published by the company.
Selecting the appropriate elements for some financial statement elements may require a significant amount of judgment.
For that reason, those in the company who are most familiar with the
financial statements should be associated with mapping of accounting concepts to taxonomy elements.
In case any information is present in the financial statements for which corresponding tag/element is not available in the taxonomy,
then the same needs to be captured in the next-best-fit element in the taxonomy or should be included under the corresponding ‘Others’ element.
This should be followed only in case the relevant tag is not available in the taxonomy.
It should not to be used generally. Further, it is imperative to include footnote w.r.t. the same while preparing the instance document.
