South African organisations have been preparing themselves to provide financial statements in an interactive data format that uses XBRL technology, and ince is part of the South African Steering Committee.

Although not yet mandatory in South Africa, the use of XBRL is becoming more commonplace in organisations. This is because XBRL makes it easier and more efficient for investors and analysts to search, compare and analyse financial data across multiple companies, industries and reporting periods.
