Introducing the Regulatory Playbook: your guide to going digital
XBRL International’s new Regulatory Playbook is now available with your essential guide to planning and implementing XBRL-based digital reporting.
Have you ever found yourself asking, “Where do I start?” when it comes to digital reporting?
XBRL offers more efficient data collection, more powerful analytics and new value from business data. Especially in an AI age. And if you’re a regulator setting out on the process, you probably have a whole bunch of questions.
For example, what strategic decisions do you need to make early on, and how should you grow support for your project? What are the common pitfalls in implementing XBRL, and how have other regulators have resolved them? What are the core components of effective digital reporting systems?
There’s now a place to start finding all the answers: XBRL International’s new Regulatory Playbook.
Designed for regulatory professionals, the Playbook provides an essential guide to planning and implementing an XBRL-based digital reporting framework, including key questions to consider and best practices drawn from international experience. It covers the policy and organisational aspects of implementation alongside the technical ones – from initial decision-making to wider stakeholder engagement to practical operational success.
Although specifically aimed at regulators in emerging markets and developing economies, the Playbook is free to use for all. We hope it will help support regulators around the world to accelerate the availability of high-quality, decision-grade data, particularly as new sustainability disclosure mandates and broader data-driven supervision come online.
Our sincere thanks go to the ClimateWorks Foundation and the Tipping Point Fund on Impact Investing for their encouragement and funding in making the Playbook happen. It brings comprehensive starting guidance together for the first time, and would have been impossible without them.
