O XBRL - eXtensible Business Report Language - é uma linguagem que está sendo implementada em vários países para divulgação das informações contábil-financeiras pela internet. Este artigo mostra o estado-da-arte do XBRL e como se deu sua evolução, bem como avalia o estágio atual do Brasil na divulgação de informações contábil-financeiras pela internet. Foi realizada uma pesquisa do tipo survey com empresas de capital aberto no Brasil. A pesquisa revelou uma forte aceitação do meio eletrônico para divulgação de informações financeiras e também que ainda é muito pequeno o conhecimento da linguagem XBRL no país e, conseqüentemente, menor ainda o número de entidades que já iniciaram formalmente os estudos para sua implementação. Mostrou ainda a inexistência de um padrão de divulgação de informações eletrônicas, tendo predominado os formatos PDF, HTML e DOC, o que dificulta a análise e comparação de informações entre órgãos reguladores e com o público em geral.XBRL - eXtensible Business Report Language - is a language for the dissemination of financial information on the internet and is being implemented in different countries. The major purpose of this research was to show XBRL state-of-the-art and its evolution, as well as to assess the current status of financial information dissemination on the internet in Brazil. Additionally, a survey with open capital companies in Brazil so as to detect the dissemination of financial statements on the internet was also carried out, focusing on the future expansion of XBRL use in the business environment. The research revealed a strong acceptance of the electronic media for dissemination of financial information, but that there is still very little knowledge of XBRL and that the number of institutions already studying the implementation of the language in the country is even smaller. It also showed the inexistence of a pattern of dissemination of electronic information; the prevailing formats were PDF, HTML and DOC, which hinders data analysis and comparison by regulatory agencies and by the general public.
