They say XBRL is the future of reporting?

 

Is there any gain of truth in it? If the regulators are to be believed? Yes there is much of a truth to it.

 

The biggest & the foremost event happenned in recent times, is Mandating XBRL by SEC (Which calls it Interactive data), the big 500 companies having a global float of more than USD 2 Billion, will be filing their returns to Securities and Exchange Commission in XBRL format.

 

Even Central banks like RBI of India & Bank of Spain. Have already XBRLised & banks are already filing returns to them in XBRL Format.

 

More to follow (to be continued)

After Satyam scam, everyones talking about, how to avoid more of such scams?

One may ask.. Will XBRL avoid such frauds.. The answer is no.. It will just make sure.. that people get to know in detail.. whats reported by Mgmt.. in a much better way.. Since the data can be sliced & diced.. It may give certain indicators as to mishappennings..
