XBRL: the current situationXBRL: the current situation

Many EU countries where Dexia is active are using XBRL as reporting language butNot in all countriesMostly presented and implemented as an additional

burden

In Belgium an additional XBRL reporting is required for the Balance Sheet Office reporting (statutory accounts of approx 270.000 companies), National Bank of Belgium.

13

XBRL: XBRL: AdvantagesAdvantages

Use XBRL as a tool for more harmonization, flexibility and gain of time both vertically and horizontally

We thus need:XBRL at the beginning of the reporting processes

(public, COREP, FINREP and internal)Softwares that read XBRLOne integrated database (kind of Group taxonomy)

« One fits all »

14

XBRL: AdvantagesXBRL: Advantages

Used by credit departmentsUsed instead of xls on websites (like Microsoft,

Monte dei Paschi di Siena, etc.)Other regulatory reporting (like VAT and tax in

NL, AML in Spain, etc.) Internal reporting (reconciliation Consolidation

and Risk databases)Mapping with new regulatory requirements

Necessity to create a working group within the group with technical specialists and business specialists Better coordination Decrease of cost

15

XBRL: AdvantagesXBRL: Advantages

A potential integration tool for the group reporting External :

Known and understood by all May be the base of a worldwide reporting May avoid repetitive reporting in different presentations, but with

the same content to regulators and local authorities Internal :

May be the base for internal reporting (consolidation) May allow “drill-down” analysis with a good organisation of

taxonomy Will make the life easier for Financial Communication and members

of the Boards when they compare the contribution of one company in the consolidated accounts with the financial statements published by a subsidiary in its country

16

XBRL: AdvantagesXBRL: Advantages

A potential integration tool for groups

Only one reporting, for internal and external reporting Possibilities for people to move from one company to another Advantage for managers to understand how transactions are

recorded and the impact on the financial statements Powerful tool for the controller and people from investor relations

to analyse the contents of the financial statements, both in the group and sub – groups, including the local regulatory reporting

Use of IFRS and worldwide taxonomy may help groups to more easily integrate newly acquired subsidiaries

XBRL: the issuesXBRL: the issues

Regulatory interpretationsExample Collateral definition Equity split Counterparties Calculations Etc.

Software offer COREP + FINREP IFRS Internal

Motivation of people (difficulty to see the benefits)

18

How to solve it ?How to solve it ?

Stronger CEBS policy, but also more communication to banks with regards to the XBRL benefits (XBRL should not be a cost and administrative burden)

Stronger banking industry involvementSoftware providers needs to understand the

banks’ real needs

One single definition of taxonomy
