IASCF releases 2009 XBRL IFRS Taxonomy
03 Apr 2009
The IASC Foundation has issued the final IFRS Taxonomy 2009 and published for comment a draft of the Due Process Handbook for XBRL Activities.
The taxonomy translates IFRSs as of 1 January 2009 into XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language). XBRL allows companies, regulators, investors, analysts and others to benefit from easier filing, improved access to, and comparison of financial data. Both the 2009 taxonomy and the draft Due Process Handbook for XBRL Activities may be downloaded without charge from the IASB's Website at www.iasb.org/XBRL/XBRL.htm. Click for Press Release (PDF 28k). We have an XBRL Page on IAS Plus.
