NEW YORK--(Business Wire)--
Financial executives, banking supervisors, securities regulators, technology
vendors, accountants and stock exchanges from around the world convened in Rome,
Italy this week during the 20th XBRL International Conference (XBRL20) to
discuss the continued expansion of XBRL and its use by regulators as a tool to
enhance transparency and improve disclosure of information.

The conference, hosted by XBRL-Europe, a regional body under XBRL International,
Inc. consisting of European member jurisdictions, and XBRL-Italy, an XBRL-Europe
member, focused on the significant expansion in the use of XBRL for filings by
companies representing more than 75% of the world`s market capitalization.

"The sizeable market penetration of XBRL has been a strong driver for new tools
and capabilities from software vendors around the world," said Anthony Fragnito,
CPA, CEO of XBRL International, Inc. "The expanded functionality of applications
to handle things like XBRL tagging of detailed footnotes and other requirements
eases the burden on companies in preparing their regulatory filings. XBRL is
mandated in the largest economies in the world, which means millions of XBRL
filings are occurring today, and an unprecedented amount of information is now
available to the public in a machine-readable, accessible format. Access to this
information will help rebuild trust and improve transparency in the wide variety
of reporting domains."

XBRL-Europe Announces New Member; Forms Working Group

XBRL-Europe made several announcements during XBRL20:

* The Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) has

business registries.

"Millions of XBRL-tagged financial statements have been filed with the European

EU Business Registers Working Group is defining a common layer of more than 300

China to Release National Taxonomy and Host 21st XBRL International Conference
in 2010

In 2004, China was the first country in the world to formally require XBRL for
all public company financial reporting. The Chinese Ministry of Finance, along
with XBRL leaders in China, is currently developing the Chinese National XBRL
Taxonomy that will be unveiled in June 2010. Listed companies on both the
Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchanges will be required to file required
information using the unified XBRL Taxonomy.

"XBRL is one of the key vehicles for promoting accounting information in China
today," said Ms. Ying Wei, CPA, Deputy Director-General, China Ministry of
Finance. "We are very excited to complete the National XBRL Taxonomy in June and
continue to promote XBRL adoption across many industries in China."

China will also host the 21st XBRL International Conference in Beijing in
October 2010. "We welcome all of our XBRL friends around the world to come to
Beijing for the next XBRL International Conference. China is proud to be your
host," added Ms. Ying Wei.

China has also been active in other asset classes, including the mutual fund
sector. XBRL is being used by all mutual fund companies for their filings with
the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC). Initially deployed in 2009,
XBRL is a tool to help the CSRC monitor and review the risks and returns of each
mutual fund.

The taxonomy and system for Initial Public Offering (IPO) filings using XBRL are
currently under development in China. In the future, all companies wanting to
undergo an IPO will have to submit their application information in XBRL format.
