The 13th XBRL
International Conference in Madrid from 15 – 19 May 2006 highlighted the
rapidly growing range of implementations and projects around the world
which are based on XBRL. A stream of presentations reported on its
successful use in the financial and public sectors. With more than 470
delegates from twenty-one different nations, the conference was one of the
largest XBRL International events to date. Strong participation from
countries in Latin America underlined growing interest in that
region. Jaime Caruana,
Governor of the Bank of Spain and Chair of the Basel II Committee,
told the conference about the role of XBRL in Spain and international
finance, highlighting the trends and requirements which XBRL can support.
US SEC Chief Information Officer Corey Booth called for simple

term. Main announcements at
the conference included:

The Dutch Minister of
Justice has electronically submitted the accounts of a Dutch company to
the Chambers of Commerce in a demonstration of the use of XBRL and the new
Dutch finanical reporting taxonomy. The photograph shows
Justice Minister Piet Hein Donner sending a computer command to submit the
accounts at the heaquarter of GIBO Group, which audited the data. The
filing to the Dutch Chambers of Commerce used software provided by
Accountview. The Dutch XBRL
project, run jointly by the Ministries of Justice and Finance, is intended
substantially to reduce the administrative burdens on Dutch business. It
will enable all sizes of business to submit electronically their annual
accounts to the Chambers of Commerce, file tax returns with the Tax Office
and supply statistical economic data to Netherlands Statistics (CBS) in a
more efficient and cheaper way.
