XBRL als Mittel zur Reduktion bürokratischer Belastungen
Die High Level Group of Independent Stakeholders on Administrative Burdens (HLG) der Europäischen Union, deren Auftrag es ist Empfehlungen zu erarbeiten, wie die bürokratischen Belastungen für Unternehmen in der Europäischen Union bis 2012 um 25% gesenkt werden können, sieht u.a. XBRL als geeignetes Mittel hierzu:
“The HLG therefore fully endorses the idea of e-government portals if implemented as multi-purpose portals, i.e. one portal should be used for fulfilling as many information obligations as possible for as many areas as possible. The ‘only once’- principle is important to business when filing information and concerns not only the company law area. The potential for administrative burden reduction by egovernmentportals will rise exponentially with the number of areas tackled. The HLG underlines in this context that any e-government initiative, be it on national and/or European level should be linked to existing programs and initiatives (e.g. e- Commission, i2010 initiative, XBRL initiative).”
