Background Spanish financial entities are required by law to report financial statements to Banco de España There reports provide information for analyzing the financial situation of each entity and Spanish financial market as a whole Conclusions are reported to international organizations (IMF and ECB) and summarized in bulletins available for public access These statements were historically reported by electronic means using plain text files and stored at IBM host systems
SIIF Project SIIF aims to provide a new means to file public statements using XBRL It is an important step towards the deployment of XBRL at our in-house systems It makes easier the evolution of the systems at financial entities towards XBRL reporting
