    – Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Cash Flow: Follow IFRS’s prescribed order and headings, ensuring consistency across periods.
    – Notes & Disclosures: Include narrative explanations, accounting policies, and judgment areas, just as in your statutory filings.

Comparability & Consistency

– Uniform Formats: Use consistent table layouts and chart styles in bothHTML and downloadable PDF versions.

 

Web-Friendly Formats


– Machine-Readable Data: Publish key financial tables in CSV or iXBRL(where possible) to facilitate analysis by investors and regulators.
– Interactive Tables: Consider embedding sortable, filterable tables for line-item disclosures (e.g., segment revenue).

 

Regulatory Alignment


– Mandatory Filings: Ensure the IR site posts the same content as your statutory filings, no editorial omissions.
– Audit Trails: Archive older periods with clear version identifiers, supporting audita bility and compliance reviews.
