Potential users of XBRL

XBRL can be applied to a very wide range of business and financial data.  Among other things, it can handle:

·         Company internal and external financial reporting.
·         Business reporting to all types of regulators, including tax and financial authorities, central banks and governments.
·         Filing of loan reports and applications; credit risk assessments.
·         Exchange of information between government departments or between other institutions, such as central banks.
·         Authoritative accounting literature - providing a standard way of describing accounting documents provided by authoritative bodies.
·         A wide range of other financial and statistical data which needs to be stored, exchanged and analyzed.
