XBRL is a broad topic to master. We have been perfecting and mastering the language for years, and we are still finding new information each day. So, to help our readers get a better understanding of this concept, we've tracked down some of the best articles online to help further your XBRL education! We highly recommend checking these stories out. In addition to our exposition on the subject, you’ll be an expert in XBRL by the end of the day!
For us, XBRL can be an incredibly interesting topic, but we understand that the feeling isn’t shared by everyone. Our friends over at Hitachi found a way around that problem, and even though the article was written in 2008, it is still making the rounds in the financial industry today.
You’ll be about halfway through this article before you realize that the extended discussion of baseball statistics is actually an obtuse method of explaining the merits of XBRL analysis. The story does an exceptional job of explaining the benefits of analyzing your XBRL reports, and was one of the first stories to do so.
For a more serious tone, there’s this piece by XBRL USA. Going into painstaking detail, XBRL USA’s write-up of Edgar XBRL definitions is one of the more informative pieces of XBRL education available on such a narrow topic. Anyone seeking to improve their understanding of XBRL would do themselves a favor by diving into this.
Of course, we have also covered a myriad of XBRL topics over the past two years on this very blog. Click on any of these links to check out some of our best single-topic explorations of XBRL concepts.
