What is XBRL? |
XBRL stands for eXtensible Business Reporting Language. It is not a software package. It’s a way of ‘tagging’ data within a computation or a set of accounts so that as a figure (e.g. Profit Before Tax) moves between different software packages, each package recognises what it represents.
