XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) allows for more efficient analysis of company financial data by structuring the information for easier retrieval, comparison, and analysis. It addresses the challenges of accessing and analyzing large amounts of unstructured financial information from multiple sources. By tagging financial statements according to XBRL standards, data can be automatically processed, facilitating easier performance comparison of companies and tracking of metrics such as revenue and profit growth over time. Widespread adoption of XBRL is needed to realize its full benefits for more transparent and comparable business reporting.

2. Accessing Reporting Data Today

3. XBRL & Investor The new data needs to be analyzed for what it says: 1. How big are revenues? 2. How big are profits? 3. How big are profit margins? The new data must be compared to earlier data to answer these questions: 1. How fast are revenues growing? 2. How fast are profits growing? 3. How are margins changing? 4. How are growth rates changing? The company’s results must be related to other companies’ results: 1. How is this company doing relative to its competitors? 2. How is this company doing relative to other places the investor can place his or her money? How do they do that today? AS A RESULT

4. The Information Overload Challenge… “… in this networked world, there is a need for greater flow of knowledge across boundaries. …. knowledge needs structure - without structure you cannot retrieve it efficiently and you cannot personalize …the Internet has facilitated access to information, but complicated the task of identifying relevant knowledge”

XBRL and Integrated Reporting Free E-Book http://integratedreporting.org/ http://www.hbs.edu/environment/docs/The%20Landscape%20of%20Integrated%20Reporting.pdf “With XBRL already being used by millions of companies in North America, Asia, Latin America, South Africa, and Europe to report financial information to regulators, investors, analysts and others, it has been established as the de facto standard for financial reporting. XBRL is the logical choice for supplementary data sets such as ESG/sustainability information and the only logical choice to achieve usable integrated reporting that can be easily discoverable, reusable, consistent and reliable across geographies, currencies, markets and industry sectors. “ ----Liv Watson, Executive Advisor, WebFilings and Brad Monterio is Managing Director of Colcomgroup, Inc.,

15. And finally ………… XBRL NEED YOUR HELP!! “Now we need your help. We need a commitment of resources—both skilled volunteers and financial support—to execute on these strategic initiatives. XII cannot make these changes alone; your involvement is crucial to achieving our common goals.” http://www.xbrl.org/xsbstrategy/

16. Concluding remarks! If you do not think that XBRL is something that will impact you sooner rather than later, you better keep your fingers crossed that your competitor has the same attitude!

17. On behalf of XBRL I like to say thank you to ICAI for all the help promoting XBRL in India!
