Certent

Certent, an Insightsoftware company, provides a robust technical framework for regulatory reporting and equity management. By 2026, the platform has matured its 'Narrative AI' engine, which utilizes large language models (LLMs) to automate the drafting of MD&A (Management's Discussion and Analysis) sections based on real-time ERP data. Its technical architecture centers on a 'Single Source of Truth' model, where Microsoft Excel-based financial data is dynamically linked to Word and PowerPoint disclosure documents. This eliminate version control errors and ensures that all XBRL and iXBRL tags are synchronized across multiple filings. The platform is highly specialized for compliance with global regulators including the SEC (US), ESEF (EU), and SEDAR+ (Canada). For 2026, Certent has prioritized AI-driven anomaly detection within XBRL tagging, which flags potential reporting inconsistencies against industry benchmarks before submission. It serves a mid-to-large enterprise market, bridging the gap between raw financial data in ERP systems and the final, audit-ready regulatory output.
