20 November 2009 Hi,

I am Pramodh Vittal. I need a clarification regarding XBRL.

I have cleared CA in nov 08 examination and currently working as Asst Manager Finance in a medium company. Now i have been offered a job in another company which is engaged in XBRL services ie conversion of financial information in XBRL reporting. If i take up this offer i would be doing tagging job ie interfacing the given financial info in XBRL. They have given me same Asst manager designation and this is also same turnover company just 5 years old. Will it be helpful for my career in 5 years down the line. Can i take up this offer.

Many thanks in advance.

20 November 2009 I personally feel that XBRL is having lot of scope now a days and more as times to come. you can refer ICAI journal mainly on XBRL.. i guess couple of months back.. I suggest you to go for it if it is really challanging. Ask any of CA already working there :)
