XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) is an XML-based, royalty-free, open standard for business reporting. XBRL was developed by XBRL International, a not-for-profit consortium of leading companies and organisations around the world. For more information about the XBRL standard and about XBRL International, please visit the XBRL International site at www.xbrl.org

XBRL Canada is a not-for-profit consortium of leading Canadian companies and organisations, whose role is to create and maintain XBRL taxonomies based on Canadian reporting standards, to increase the awareness, knowledge and understanding of XBRL and its uses in Canada and to stimulate and promote the adoption of XBRL in Canada. XBRL Canada is a jurisdiction of XBRL International.

XBRL Canada has created two taxonomies designed to enable preparation of XBRL based financial statements that conform to Canadian Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). The first is referred to as the Primary Financial Statements (PFS) taxonomy, and covers the Balance Sheet, Income Statement and Statement of Cash Flow. The second, the Notes taxonomy, is for the preparation of the Notes to the Financial Statements. Both taxonomies have been “acknowledged” by XBRL International and are available on this website for free download.

The organization has also conducted several seminars for companies and individuals wishing to learn about XBRL. For the presentations at our event in Toronto on September 24, 2008, send us an  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Currently, XBRL Canada is working on a project to assist companies with convergence to IFRS, which is currently scheduled to take place by 2011. The project, conducted in conjunction with the IASB Foundation, will result in a taxonomy that conforms with IFRS as used in Canada , along with tools that will cross-reference existing Canadian GAAP and IFRS.
