The 24th XBRL International Conference (XBRL24) in the United Arab Emirates is your gateway to understanding the benefits of transparency in electronic reporting. Experience an unprecedented opportunity to learn from the innovators and experts making electronic business information more reliable, comparable and available in real-time.

This is the first XBRL conference in the region and will offer exciting business development and professional networking opportunities.  XBRL24 offers the information and education you and your organization need to improve your processes with electronic reporting. 

Global Regulators and Governments are increasingly requiring electronic reporting of business and financial information. This is, however, not just another regulation.  The use of XBRL for electronic reporting streamlines and speeds up reporting processes and shortens time to market for data critical to investor decision making.  Timely, accurate data that is reliable, comparable and re-usable improves investor confidence in all aspects of emerging and established and capital markets.
