...Show More Authors

Objective: This study aims to examine how implementing Extensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) enhances the efficiency and quality of environmental audits and sustainability reporting in eco-friendly universities. Aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production), the study emphasizes promoting transparency and precision in sustainability reporting to encourage responsible management of resources within academic institutions.   Theoretical Framework: The importance of our study is evident in the importance of accurate and transparent reports in the development of environmental performance with theories of sustainable reporting and environmental auditing. One of the most important digital reporting techniques that is essential to raise the level of these reports is XBRL.   Method: We collected data from a sample of 100 universities that use XBRL for sustainability reporting to build a quantitative research strategy. Highlighting environmental transparency and the importance of green auditing, the relationship between XBRL adoption and reporting quality was studied.   Results and Discussion: The results showed that XBRL greatly enhances environmental reporting's precision and openness, which helps to advance green auditing procedures. Nevertheless, difficulties such a lack of technical know-how and the high implementation costs were noted.   Research Implications: The study highlights the need for enhanced training and institutional support to maximize the benefits of XBRL in universities, with implications for improving sustainability reporting and green auditing practices.   Originality/Value: This research contributes to the field by demonstrating the effectiveness of XBRL in sustainability reporting within green universities, offering practical recommendations for overcoming implementation challenges and enhancing environmental transparency.
