In een persbericht zegt de IASC Foundation: The proposed taxonomy is consistent with IFRSs and the IFRS for Small and Medium-sized Entities (SMEs). The proposed taxonomy contains significant architectural improvements when compared with the 2009 version; in particular the proposed architecture integrates IFRSs and the IFRS for SMEs into a single taxonomy. Other proposed improvements include an extended use of axes (dimensions) in the taxonomy, reconsideration of the IASC Foundation’s approach for concept naming and of its principle of deleting redundant (deprecated) concepts. The IFRS Taxonomy 2010 is a translation of IFRSs as issued at 1 January 2010 into XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language). XBRL is rapidly becoming the format of choice for the electronic filing of financial information - particularly within jurisdictions reporting under IFRSs - because it facilitates simpler and faster filing and comparison of IFRS financial data by companies, regulators, investors, analysts and other users of the IFRS Taxonomy.

Belanghebbenden kunnen tot 22 april 2010 commentaar indienen op de voorstellen. Naar verwachting wordt april de definitieve versie van de IFRS Taxonomy 2010 gepubliceerd. Meer informatie over de voorgestelde taxonomie: klik hier.>>
