How Safe is my Data?

Portal Functionality Explained

  1. The company will be registered on the XBRL Portal and will become the Administrator for all submitting entities within the Group.
  2. The responsible person for the Group registration will receive a User ID and Default Password. The Default Password will need to be changed at the time of first Login to the Portal.
  3. Log-in’s and interaction with the Portal will be via a secure HTTPS connection.
  4. If separate submissions are to be made for entities within a Group, a separate log-in User ID and Password will be required.
  5. Once the Group and all submitting entities are registered, an encrypted and secure folder structure is created:
  6. Group Admin will be able to view all folders; and
  7. Entities will only be able to view their own folders.
  8. User friendly pre-tagged templates with easy entry point identification based on the CIPC taxonomy will be available to download from the relevant folder via the portal for each submitting entity.
  9. Once the financial details are captured in the templates, submitting entities will be required to upload the completed templates to the portal, to be saved in each entity’s specific folder.
  10. The templates will then be processed through the iXBRL Solution and the output iXBRL CIPC ready format will be placed in each of the entities folders, a notification will be emailed to advise that the iXBRL file is ready for download.
  11. Once the iXBRL output file is downloaded, the iXBRL file can be uploaded to the CIPC.
  12. CIPC will send a confirmation on successful filing.
