XBRL Adoption Roadmap

In this whitepaper, we begin by examining why XBRL has risen to prominence, the advantages and disadvantages of adopting XBRL as the financial reporting standard, and the relative success of historical adoption approaches. Finally, we'll review the lessons learned from the early adopters, outline XBRL Implementation best practices and in the process answer the primary question on global regulators' minds: "Is XBRL really ready for prime time?"

The document cuts through the hype and rhetoric often associated with XBRL, mostly because XBRL is so technical.
