*    XBRL is the Financial and Operational business reporting offshoot of Extensible Markup Language (XML), which is a freely licensable, open technology standard (or Vocabulary) used to exchange business information electronically. XML is the universally preferred data description language used to describe the storage, manipulation and exchange of data via the internet.

 

*    XBRL is a language for the electronic communication of business and financial data which is revolutionizing business reporting around the world. In India, now as per MCA specifications, filing of financial statements in XBRL mode is mandatory for certain class of companies. 

 

*    XBRL electronic standard will allow for efficient retrieval and analysis of financial information, thus enabling better, faster and more consistent information, resulting in higher quality decision by investors.  

 

XBRL is:

• An Open Technology standard for reporting and analyzing business and financial information.
• Software agnostic, or independent.
• Accounting framework neutral.

 

XBRL is not:

•  A Standardized chart of accounts.
•  A way to require the reporting of specific information.
• A transaction level activity (although it can summarize general ledger transactions)

The idea behind XBRL is simple. Instead of treating financial information as static text – as in a standard internet page or a printed document – XBRL provides an identifying tag for each individual item of data, whether numeric or textual. This tag is computer readable and allows the information to be used interactively
