What does DataTracks do:

We receive your inputs (as uploads onto our website; after you register as a user). Your inputs can be fully prepared financial statements in spreadsheets, word processor documents or PDF format.

We prepare your financial statements in iXBRL format and return to you (for you to file with the Revenue).

Who can use DataTracks:

Companies and/or Tax Advisors/Accountants who do not want to invest in an accounts preparation software or in accounting expertise required to work with Irish Extension GAAP (IE GAAP) and IFRS or technical expertise required to prepare iXBRL documents.

What are your options for producing iXBRL accounts:

You have three choices:

Use an accounts production software that would produce iXBRL documents automatically. However, you need to invest in such a software, invest in training your staff to acquire expertise in Irish GAAP or IFRS and lose staff time in setting up and maintaining the relationships between account heads and IE GAAP/IFRS taxonomy labels.
Use an iXBRL tagging software. However, you need to invest in (or rent) such a software, invest in training your staff to acquire expertise in using the software (several of these are complex) and expertise in Irish GAAP or IFRS and lose staff time on a continuing basis in mapping line items in your statements with IE GAAP/IFRS taxonomy labels.
Use DataTracks. Just upload your statements (in whatever format you prepare them; we accept most formats). We do everything and return to you the iXBRL documents for review and filing with the Revenue. You can review the iXBRL documents using any browser.

DataTracks is designed for use by Companies and Tax Advisors/Accountants who do not want to invest in software and training and lose precious staff time on non core areas. More importantly, you have the benefit of our expertise in IE GAAP and IFRS and our expertise in iXBRL technology. (We are one of the few vendors recognised by the Revenue to provide these services for preparation of financial statements in iXBRL format).
