Lucanet has launched what it claims to be the industry’s first comprehensive Tagger Agent designed for XBRL (Extensible Business Reporting Language) reporting, just in time for the upcoming reporting season. This innovative tool aims to tackle one of the most significant pain points in financial reporting: the manual, page-by-page tagging of financial statement notes.
“As the industry’s first comprehensive narrative tagging agent, the Tagger Agent addresses XBRL’s toughest bottleneck,” said Janis Steinmann, head of XBRL at Lucanet. “By combining deep understanding of financial narrative context with a multi-agent approach, we’re giving finance teams a tool that increases tagging accuracy, reduces repetitive work, and lets experts focus on validation and controls rather than tedious tagging. This is a step change for reporting efficiency and quality.”
The Tagger Agent employs a multi-agent AI architecture to perform multiple tasks simultaneously, including narrative tagging, numeric table tagging, extension creation, and calculation link base generation. This capability transforms what would typically be a days-long expert process into a streamlined workflow that can be completed in minutes or hours, while still allowing for necessary human oversight during the final validation stage.
Designed specifically for European reporting mandates, this solution supports various languages, including English, German, Swedish, Italian, and Spanish. It fully aligns with the latest ESEF (European Single Electronic Format) taxonomy, ensuring compliance with emerging regulatory requirements.
Lucanet’s Tagger Agent delivers over 80% accuracy compared to human-tagged reports, providing a reliable automation solution that enhances efficiency without sacrificing quality. This high level of accuracy, combined with the capacity for human oversight, aims to reassure finance teams facing tight deadlines and complex reporting obligations.
Since the introduction of the ESEF in early 2022, which mandated block tagging for notes to financial statements, the landscape of financial reporting has evolved significantly. Upcoming updates set for early 2025 include even more stringent requirements, such as refined block-tagging protocols and updated anchoring rules. These changes underscore the growing relevance of automated XBRL reporting solutions like Lucanet’s Tagger Agent as finance teams prepare for the demanding reporting season ahead.
XBRL is increasingly recognized as the global standard for digital financial and sustainability reporting. By enabling the tagging of financial and business data in a machine-readable format, it facilitates automated validation, enhances comparability, and accelerates regulatory filings. The Tagger Agent seeks to further streamline and automate the tagging process for financial statements and disclosures, easing the burden on finance teams.
As the financial reporting landscape continues to shift toward greater automation and digitalization, tools like Lucanet’s Tagger Agent may redefine how companies approach compliance and reporting efficiency. The ability to combine advanced technology with human expertise could set a new standard in an industry that is increasingly grappling with the complexities of regulation and reporting mandates.
