The XBRL (Extensible Business Reporting Language) is the IFRS Taxonomy that is a representation of the IFRS which entails Interpretations, International Accounting Standards (IAS) and also the International Financial Reporting Standards for Small and Medium Entities.

The foundation of the IFRS seeks ways for addressing the demand for an electronic standard intended for the transmission of financial information of IFRS.

On 15^th January 2014, the foundation of IFRS made a publication for public comment purposes the Proposed Interim Release Package 2 regarding the International Financial Reporting Standards 2013 Taxonomy. The interim release on IFRS Taxonomy has got some additional concepts in taxonomy that reflects the latest IFRSs and advancements to the IFRS which have been published by the IASB. This has consequently allowed those entities with the desire to make reports electronically by use of the modern IFRS to do so without these organizations creating their own concepts in taxonomy. Technical updates, modern common practice elements or even improvements in general taxonomy may also be contained here.
