Existence of XBRL: A Boon or Bane for Companies in Malaysia?
Although XBRL is still in its infancy stage in Malaysia, the reporting process is expected to become the mainstay method of submitting financial information to the Suruhanjaya Syarikat Malaysia (SSM). The sole reason behind this is its flexibility in exchanging and maintaining financial data. However, there has always been uncertainty concerned with the adoption of XBRL. Businesses all across Malaysia are hesitant about transitioning to this new reporting process. So let’s put this hesitation to rest once and for all.
Benefits of Transitioning to XBRL in Malaysia
● Making Informed Decisions with Standardised and Collated Reports
By providing a standardized format for preparing, calculating, and presenting financial reports, XBRL allows managers and other decision-makers to compare past reports and make data-driven decisions. This is a major advantage of transitioning to XBRL.
● Increased Collaboration and Flexible Scalability
Data migration with XBRL is immensely easy, especially when you need to collaborate with people outside your organization. XBRL uses a standard reporting format, which is machine- and human-readable. So you can rest assured that the data you share with potential investors or stakeholders will be highly authoritative.
● Automation of Business Reporting
The biggest upside of switching to XBRL is automating the entire financial reporting process. XBRL allows companies to file their annual returns and audited accounts electronically. In addition, it also enables SSM to capture critical financial information in a standardized format. This makes providing analytical insights into the Malaysian business landscape all the more transparent.
