MDA Journal: XBRL Strategic Initiatives
In his April 2009 Column, David Frankel expressed a hope that the growing community of XBRL stakeholders would support new architectural and governance mechanisms needed to scale XBRL up for mass adoption. Recently XBRL International, Inc. (XII) announced a series of strategic initiatives designed with that in mind. In his Column this month, David describes the XBRL organizational structure and defines the six strategic initiatives put together by XBRL International`s Standards Board.
