MIX XBRL Case Study
This case study, developed by MIX and published by XBRL International, outlines the background, goals, implementation, and results of using XBRL for data collection from microfinance institutions.
The goal of this project is a genuinely global data collection using XBRL. MIX seeks to translate diverse data from microfinance institutions into a form readable by an equally diverse set of stakeholders. MIX looks to support standards within the microfinance community through use of an XBRL taxonomy based on International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and use of XBRL as a common language for exchange of information on microfinance institutions.
MIX’s XBRL development was a component of a larger project redevelopment of the MIX Market website and was funded by the MasterCard Foundation.
