India: New Reporting System For Mutual Funds

SEBI has proposed a new reporting system for mutual funds based on XBRL technology -- a globally accepted standardised business reporting tool that enables easy dissection of bulk documents without delay.

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), which regulates fund houses, has issued a draft structure of the proposed XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) system for all the regulatory filings to be made by mutual funds.

XBRL technology enables the computers read and divide the information provided in the filings under various heads and thus makes it easy to find any relevant details and to identify any irregularities.
