this and xbrl format seems to be successfully used by private companies. I
have to add that that info is not public (no Freedom of Information Law in
Spain yet), although you can request it at a Registry and obtain it for an
expensive fee .
But is there any data or evidence that local governments are using it to
submit their reports, or have they just been encouraged? Do you know
whether using this format in other countries implies that reports will be
accessible to the general public? Can you help me find this info?
Thanks a lot,
Concha Catalan
