At last the USA has begun to engage with the thorny issue of sustainability KPIs in an important new report - From Transparency to Performance – sponsored by Harvard’s Hauser Center and the Initiative for Responsible Investment. Is this a shot across the bows of the clever clogs at the GRI or a Harvard push to extend the balanced scorecard concept into the sustainability space?

A recent Deloitte paper Sustainability in business: a cross industry view has lots of interesting things to say about sustainability in business generally and a few interesting things to say about sustainability reporting specifically.

Back in 2004, the UK’s ICAEW issued a interesting report called Digital reporting: a progress report. In the report they refer to the challenge for XBRL of tagging narrative information. So I’d like to noodle that for a moment. Read the rest of this entry » iPad – The Future of Corporate Reporting?July 26th, 2010 by Stewart McKie - Executive Advisor
Some time back I posted on the use of new platforms (e.g. iPad, iPhone) for delivering corporate reporting so it’s good to see that someone else is picking up this theme. In Is the iPad the future of corporate reporting, Richard Simpson, a bizdev director at a UK-based design agency, has this to say about XBRL and the iPad: Read the rest of this entry » Addressing XBRLJuly 26th, 2010 by Stewart McKie - Executive Advisor
No. Not a new XBRL taxonomy for mailing labels but the title of a very useful white paper by Ernst & Young that provides good introductory coverage of XBRL, the use of XBRL by regulators generally and the S.E.C. specifically, and the connection between XBRL and IFRS.

Our data maven Ted Stavropoulos alerted me to Microsoft’s new ‘codename Dallas‘ initiative. And no, it’s not an attempt to bring back JR, Sue Ellen and all the other cheeseballs from Southfork ranch.

Every now and then I like to revisit Rivet’s XBRL journey mantra - Comply. Control. Communicate. – to remind ourselves that we are really only at stage 1 of the XBRL journey and there is a long way to go. The Semantic Web: A Layer Too Far?July 14th, 2010 by Stewart McKie - Executive Advisor
The future of reporting is holistic reporting. That means reports used to communicate organizational transparency. But don’t expect these reports to be ‘pushed’ out of organizations.
