The Trustees of the IASC Foundation today announced the inaugural membership of the XBRL Advisory Council and XBRL Quality Review Team.
The XBRL Advisory Council will provide strategic advice to the Trustees and the Foundation’s XBRL team on the future development and adoption of the XBRL Taxonomy for International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs). It will meet for the first time in December 2007.
The XBRL Quality Review Team will help to assure the quality of XBRL taxonomy by reviewing taxonomies developed by the IASC Foundation. It will meet in January 2008.
Commenting on the announcement, Olivier Servais, IASC Foundation Team Leader, said:
The calibre of applications for membership of these two advisory bodies demonstrates the wide interest in interactive data and its importance to the world of financial reporting.
I thank the members for agreeing to give up their time on a voluntary basis.
