This makes data download and analysis much easier compared to the old way of copy/pasting and re-keying of information.

The session on XBRL will help in understanding: - How to convert the financial statements in Microsoft Word /Microsoft Excel or in any other format to XBRL format by tagging the data into the given taxonomy - The practical aspects of conversion to XBRL which could help companies in real-life conversion - Useful XBRL tools that are required for conversion - Opportunities for using XBRL beyond financial reporting.
