From the accountants' point of view, it will enable them to draw-up error-free accounts. Since accounting data are mapped into some recognized taxonomy, all errors are to be sorted out at this stage.
Auditors can detect errors in tagging financial data with the help of available application software. Adoption of XBRL will significantly lower both internal and external audit costs.
Motives of any taxation system are accuracy and traceability based on calculation, and compliance of various rules and regulations. The accuracy will be provided by unambiguous data point definition as well as well-defined sources of the information. Since most of the values used to calculate and report taxes are, in turn, derived, capabilities of the compliance system to trace such values all the way to the original or atomic information elements is necessary. Finally, if the business rules and formulas used to assess taxes are documented, coded and understood, it is relatively straightforward to predict tax liability where and when a business transaction is occurring.
Real time analysis will help internal management to assemble reports for immeasurable variety of internal management decisions.
