XBRL Adoption Promise The adoption of XBRL promises to help

companies and individuals make faster and better decisions-which will lead to more efficient capital markets that, in turn, may reduce capital costs.

Forward-thinking organizations looking to reduce costs and gain competitive advantage are already leveraging their efforts in pilot projects inside their organizations

Significant XBRL Implementations Several U.S. regulatory agencies (including the FDIC, OCC

and OTS) are involved in a joint project

AICPA Project gained Auditing Standards Board Approval

Several public companies are posting XBRL Instance Documents

A few Fortune 100 companies are assessing or piloting how to use XBRL to improve internal reporting

Several National Banks are currently involved in a market demonstration project

APRA - Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority

Inland Revenue Service – UK

Many Software Vendor Solution Pilots

Recent Financial Software Vendor Survey

AICPA personnel performed a telephone survey of 21 leading financial software vendors during the 2nd quarter of 2003

Methodology - August 2003 Software Survey

Survey covered 59 separate ERP and GL products

Survey respondents Characteristics: Individuals were product managers or others familiar

with the products and future planned enhancements For this survey, accounting software included ERP,

general ledger and reporting software. For purposes of analysis, companies were further

segregated by their customer size – large (Tier A) and small/medium (Tier B).

Key Findings - August 2003 Software Survey

XBRL is taking hold with accounting vendors Although user demand is perceived to be low/moderate. Two

thirds of the accounting software vendors surveyed have either already XBRL enabled, or have decided to enable, one or more products

Customer Size Matters Accounting software vendors oriented towards large companies

are ‘further down the XBRL/XML road’ then software primarily oriented to small/medium companies

Focus is on outputting in XBRL Not import XBRL or G/L enable. As expected.

Understanding is key to XBRL Enablement Of the 7 companies whom have not yet decided to XBRL enable,

only two say they have a good understanding of XBRL
