XBRL Transcripts
XBRL is an acronym for extensible business reporting language. XBRL is a language for the electronic communication of business information. XBRL provides major benefits for businesses to prepare, analyze, and communicate business information. For users of business information, XBRL offers cost-savings, better efficiency, improved accuracy, and improved reliability to anyone involved in using or supplying business information. XBRL has been globally adopted and fast becoming the standard of information exchange and communication. XBRL was developed and is being managed by an international non-pro!t consortium of more than 600 companies, agencies, and government institutions. RCW Accounting Firm Singapore offers expert XBRL services to businesses and individual entities.
How Does XBRL Work?
XBRL is part of the Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) set, a standard means of communicating information between businesses and over the internet. Using the XML convention, identifying tags (called metadata or simply tags) are applied to individual items of data to aid in computer processing software. Using these tags, computers can communicate your business information between other computers without human intervention, thus automating the information exchange process. XBRL shows how items in a piece of communication relate to each other, and how this relation is represented vis-vis the overall information and financial data. Calculation methods can be represented via XBRL together with categorization of items for presentation purposes. XBRL is extensible, which means it can customized for the unique purposes of each organization that adapts it. RCW Accounting Firm Singapore can help your business setup, manage, and learn about XBRL’s functions.
