About the Analysis

Decision about implementation of XBRL raises a number of issues to be answered prior to the development phase, specifically concerning the impact of XBRL taxonomy on the business reporting environment. Our XBRL Requirements Analysis constitutes a solution to these issues providing a comprehensive tool to identify and model all key needs of the organisation regarding design, development and maintenance of the XBRL taxonomies and extensions. Our analysis approach is based on several years of experience of XBRL implementation and is a part of our flagship XBRL Taxonomy Development Framework.
