eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL)

eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) is a global electronic standard for defining financial terms consistently, allowing for the exchange and dissemination of corporate reporting information.

FEI's Committee on Finance and Information Technology (CFIT) has identified one of its key initiatives as working to educate members on the future benefits of XBRL.

Learn more about XBRL from the many resources below:

XBRL is being developed by an international non-profit consortium of approximately 250 major companies, organizations and government agencies. FEI, through CFIT, is a member of this consortium. For more information on the consortium visit: www.xbrl.org
