XBRL – Reengineering Financial
Reporting
The Current State of XBRL
Reporting
3. • Comparable developments to encourage or require XBRL have
taken place internationally.
• Since early 2003, the Tokyo Stock Exchange has accepted XBRL
information.
• In 2007, the Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) established a
voluntary program to help the Canadian marketplace gain practical
knowledge in preparing, filing, and using XBRL information.
Regulators in China, Spain, the Netherlands, and the United
Kingdom are requiring certain companies to use XBRL.
• In addition, the use of XBRL will facilitate fulfillment of legal
requirements stipulated in the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which was passed
in response to widespread concern and skepticism about financial-
reporting standards. In particular, XBRL can play a role in
facilitating earlier reporting of financial statements required under
SOX legislation.

13. Internal Control Implications of XBRL
• Taxonomy Creation. Taxonomy may be generated incorrectly, which
results in an incorrect mapping between data and taxonomy elements
that could result in material misrepresentation of financial data.
• Taxonomy Mapping Error. The process of mapping the internal
database accounts to the taxonomy tags needs to be controlled.
• Validation of Instance Documents. As noted, once the mapping is
complete and tags have been stored in the internal database, XBRL
instance documents (reports) can be generated.
