XBRL Support
“I would like to see you develop valuation models that result in consistent, comparable and fair values of assets and liabilities. I would like to see you hone specific, but plain English definitions for the types of information you believe should be included in public disclosure. I would like to see you take your XBRL project a step further, providing account classifications for companies in common industries. In short, I challenge you to turn all of this data into meaningful information for investors.”
- Arthur Levitt, Chairman, U.S. Securities & Exchange CommissionOctober 24, 2000, at the Fall Council of the AICPA (Las Vegas, Nevada)
Microsoft CFO on XBRL
• "Through Internet delivery, XBRL will also provide analysts and investors with extensible financial data to make informed decisions about the company. We see XBRL as not only the future standard for publishing, delivery and use of financial information over the Web, but also as a logical business choice."
John Connors, Chief Financial Officer, Microsoft
The Capital Markets
• “NASDAQ joins shoulder to shoulder in the effort of the XBRL Consortium to adopt this new, freely available technology because it feels that improving the distribution and analysis of corporate results, especially for the 10,000 companies not covered by Wall Street analysts will broaden the market for NASDAQ’s own trading services”
Michael Sanderson, CEO NASDAQ Europe
Transparency in Financial Reporting
• “Reuters’ reputation stands on its ability to communicate and the extensible business reporting language standard it has employed this week to publish accounts online is amongst the most significant of developments in promoting transparency in financial information”
Accountancy Age, 1 November 2001
Message to Congress on Post Enron Environment
• “One large scale and potentially revolutionary private sector initiative that already is underway is a collaboration of growing companies, accounting firms and the AICPA to develop a common “tagging” system for various financial accounts, which goes under the acronym “XBRL”. … I would urge the SEC (and if necessary, urge the Committee to urge the SEC) to encourage this project… One possibility: require EDGAR submissions to be in XBRL by a specific date.”
• Bob Litan, Brookings Institution & Bear Stearns testimony to U.S. Senate Banking Committee on post-Enron, March 14, 2002

XML is Expandable
• Whereas – HTML has a fixed set of tags (<H1>, <B>,
<PRE>) aimed at data presentation
• XML lets you create your own tags– <sugary-substance>– <Shakespearean-character>– <cash-equivalent>
– The key focus is on content, not presentation

XBRL as a Translator
• Accounting is fragmented– Hundreds of accounting software packages– Many correct ways to interpret GAAP and
Governmental accounting
• XBRL as common denominator– Each set of financial data can conform to a
single taxonomy.
Who defines the tags?
• Tags are defined by industry consortiums • Each industry’s standard tags are commonly
referred to as a taxonomy
XBRL Taxonomies in 2002
• Best practices– e.g. ast.amz.goodwill = Amortization of Goodwill– e.g. Assets have “current” & “non current”
children– e.g. Reusable common components taxonomy
• Focused development efforts– IAS Taxonomy: Core financials, Core + Notes– US GAAP C&I Taxonomy– UK GAAP C&I Taxonomy– Inland Revenue “Computation” Taxonomy– FDIC Taxonomy (US)– Canadian GAAP, others.

How will XBRL impact content based businesses?
– Less data preparation– Less data re-keying– More direct communication among processes– More emphasis on analytics– Dashboards– Expansion of non-financial information
content– Rapid transformation of products– Semantic analysis– Information agents– Reduced data tailoring costs and revenues– Reduced application tailoring costs and
revenues Source: Liv Watson, Edgar Online
Why XBRL instead of our own Schemas?
• Don’t reinvent the features of XBRL– Item types – financial parameters– Predefined concepts (labels, references)– Entities, periods, segments, scenarios– Extensibility using XLink
Business Informationthat is
• Financial in nature• Enhances standard definitions• Refers to multiple entities• Refers to multiple periods
