With detail tagging just around the corner for Wave 1 filers, the initial filing for Wave 2 this year, and Wave 3 filers starting to get on board, it is critical that accountants continue their education on XBRL and their current vendor.
Yes, I represent one of these vendors, Rivet Software. Yes, I do have a bias. But I am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA-13440) and have a strong loyalty to my fellow accountants. We are always under constant scrutiny and are asked to do more with less. We are once again in the hot seat with XBRL. Read the rest of this entry »

Bain Capital Venture’s recent $12m investment in EDGAR Online is clear evidence that wary software industry investors are starting to believe in the potential of a global financial ecosystem based on XBRL-tagged data. But I think there’s another reason for this confidence in the future of XBRL. Savvy tech-industry watchers also recognize that the proliferation of ‘iPlatforms’ means many more ways to deliver useful financial information by leveraging XBRL. Read the rest of this entry »

During a call with a potential client last week, I mentioned that Rivet’s Crossfire Financial Reporting Platform makes numbers so exciting that I want to go back to school for an MBA in Accounting. He laughed and revealed that nowadays, being an accountant is less about numbers or analysis and more about rules and mandates that govern how a number is presented.

It’s not often that a financial reporting tool can both blow your dress up and knock your socks off, but apparently our Crossfire solution can.
