The Companies Commission of Malaysia (abbreviated as SSM in the Malay language) has officially launched its XBRL initiative financial elements that include

1. Statement of Comprehensive Income/Income Statement;
2. Statement of Financial Position /Balance Sheet;
3. Statement of Changes in Equity;
4. Cash Flow Statement;
5. Notes to the financial statements; and
6. Audit statements.

The goal of this initiative is to provide a standard for the uniform business reporting of both non-financial and financial information by registered companies. The said adoption will provide SSM, other regulators and businesses with detailed data that can be aggregated and made available to stakeholders in the form of industry analysis for industrial benchmarking.

 

Uses and Applications of XBRL

Information cost reduction, flow acceleration, as well as enhancement in usefulness, are the primary goals of XBRL. XBRL offers greater flexibility to investment and credit professionals working with XML-enabled applications, financial data warehouses, and analytical tools.

1. Enhanced Efficiency

   With the implementation of XBRL, information analysis can be done without the process of re-entry of information and investors can compare different companies based on commonly accepted data formats. Apart from this, regulators can define specific taxonomies [that describe information] and use standard XML and Internet technologies to receive and process that information.

2. Reduced Cost

   The automation of composition and processing of reports to different stakeholders will minimize costs significantly by cutting time and labor spent manually entering and rechecking information. The XBRL system can help in analysing, selecting, and processing the data for re-use. Therefore, human effort can switch to more value-added aspects of analysis, review, reporting and decision-making. As such, an organisation can expect a cost reduction with the dramatically improved speed.

3. Data validation and Error Detection

   On top of that, data validation and error detection are the other advantages of XBRL. XBRL provides efficient, validated transmission of information between Web services. Error detection (which is built into the XBRL specification) occurs at the source of the data, rather than at the receiving party. Therefore, the data’s accuracy and origin are traceable to one absolute point within the information chain.
