The standards organisation's introduction to Inline XBRL.
Understanding iXBRL
What is iXBRL?
Inline XBRL (iXBRL) is a format for accounts that people can read and software can analyse. Digital tags identify figures and disclosures, including what they mean, the period they cover and the units used.
See what each figure means
In a browser, you can read the published accounts, but the tags are usually hidden. They tell you what a figure represents, which period it covers and whether it relates to the company or the group. They can also show how figures add up.
Graffiti shows those tags beside the accounts. You can inspect figures, search the data, run checks and export it for further analysis. Start free with Companies House filings from this website. A paid plan adds a bookmarklet for other filing pages and local files.
