Membership Benefits
Membership of XBRL offers organisations an early understanding of how to use XBRL to best advantage in products and services, a gain in time-to-market and the possibility of significant competitive benefits. However, it is not simply the gateway to better technical understanding. Membership also provides insight into plans for the use of XBRL around the world, indicating new business opportunities and means of saving costs.
XBRL members have access to consortium meetings, working groups and electronic discussion groups, providing the best available range of information on XBRL development and planning. They will see draft versions of specifications and other technical documents as they are developed, well ahead of formal public release. Members can also play a full part in the creation of these plans, helping to ensure the plans meet their own individual business priorities and requirements.
