Many people are aware of the existence of XBRL, and some may even know that the SEC and other regulatory agencies have mandated its use. But how well is the general public informed on the boundless power and widespread applications of XBRL for financial reporting (and beyond)?
We are pitching a panel topic focused on the role XBRL plays in corporate and government transparency for the next South by Southwest conference in Austin. Vote for it here: http://bit.ly/aT3E5T. This conference has a focus on innovation and technology – what better group to start sharing the XBRL message?
Some of the topics we’ll be covering include:
- How the global movement toward international standards will help people access, analyze and evaluate all types of information
- How government agencies are utilizing XBRL to oversee activities such as government spending
- Why the SEC and other regulatory agencies mandated the use of XBRL for financial reporting and what the future holds
- How XBRL can be applied beyond financial reporting.
Show your support for XBRL and data transparency by taking a moment to vote for our panel. Voting closes Friday! Thank you!
