The XBRL Year: 2011January 9th, 2012 by Stewart McKie - Executive Advisor2011 was another exciting year for XBRL. I am indebted to various XBRL ’round-ups’ from the IFRS, XBRL International and others for the data in my take on the year. Read the rest of this entry » The future start tag for all integrated reports?December 31st, 2011 by Stewart McKie - Executive AdvisorIn my roundup of the XBRL news of 2011 (coming soon), I mention the Integrated Reporting (IR) movement, which has been discussed in this blog over the years. The IR’s discussion document Towards Integrated Reporting: Communicating Value in the 21st Century is well worth a read and also some thought in response to the questions it helpfully poses within the text. But what interests me more is their new logo <IR>, which looks to me like an XBRL tag – something that we should not regard as a coincidence.

The financial reporting industry has changed drastically over the last 20 years. Not to date myself, but oh well, here goes. I remember when I first started out at Arthur Andersen we didn’t have computers. We used columnar paper and had to continually tape more paper on the end of the spreadsheets to add more columns if the paper wasn’t long enough. To make a change was completely manual—erasing, re-adding, and hoping that everything flowed through properly. In 1989 we got computers to go out in the field.
