PricewaterhouseCoopers3 Why Standards are important to you In 1883, Emil Christian Hansen developed a repeatable method for propagating pure yeast. (the standard) Revolutionary to the brewing industry. Given freely away to other brewers Today, used in all lager beers around the world. Economic impact: Lower costs; improved quality (consistency); increased volumes; accelerated frequencies; more efficient processes; new markets.

25 What are the benefits and costs?

PricewaterhouseCoopers26 First lets highlight existing problems: Analytical concepts / controls are: Embedded in specific applications Redundant across applications Inflexible in adjusting to market changes Difficult to synchronize across a variety of applications Opaque and difficult to manage and coordinate Others problems as well

PricewaterhouseCoopers27 As a result: The integration of disparate systems are: Based upon the physical integration of various software applications Implemented by systems integrators and consultants Inflexible when considering incremental systems of newly acquired entities Not that supportive of your current compliance process needs

PricewaterhouseCoopers28 Priority Process Opportunities How does information access work? Who is responsible for validation? Who is responsible for analysis? Who is responsible for reporting?

PricewaterhouseCoopers29 Business Process Change Legacy Processor Validation The Prior process validation rules were applied too late in the process to do any good. As a result, the errors were sent back to the banks for ‘correction’ and thus a cycle of error and corrections ensued.

PricewaterhouseCoopers30 Business Process Change Current The current process explicitly defines the data requirements and related business & validation rules such that they can be applied at the bank level. This simply shift enabled an increase in: - data quality (from 68% to under a 5% error rate), - processing time (from over 45 to under 2 days), and - costs (from over 1,000 to under 200 employees).

PricewaterhouseCoopers31 Primary Costs Collaboration across silos Process reengineering / design Change management Taxonomy development – (aka information architecture) Software enhancements Embedded in new versions Available plug-ins New applications? (Taxonomy Management, Validation)

PricewaterhouseCoopers32 Summary Thoughts Supply Chain standardization effort Economic accrue to all supply chain participants Adoption is accelerating around the world Convergence of information models Processing enhancements available to all Validation, Analysis, References Cheaper, Smarter, Faster Collaboration is critical (at all levels)

PricewaterhouseCoopers35 Identify the optimal implementation location Manual, untimely, inaccurate, incomplete aggregation or consolidation processes Manual access (cut & paste) Consumer or inadequate validation Analytics embedded/opaque rather than shared Implicit knowledge required (e.g. policies) Sourcing from wide range of disparate sources Multiple ledgers accessed within common processes Lack of ‘standard chart of accounts’ implementation International operations & processes (e.g. language) Others

PricewaterhouseCoopers36 Key Implementation Questions? What critical information is not available in a timely, accurate or complete manner? Where is there the most pain? Is poor data quality a common topic? Are there common controls that have different implementation concepts depending upon the software? Is there a track record of collaboration or silo oriented efforts? Where is there the largest opportunity for cost savings? Do you have the proper tools? And training? Does your organizational culture favor ‘big bang’ or evolutionary change?

PricewaterhouseCoopers37 Common implementation areas Compliance/consolidation/aggregation processes Spreadsheet aggregation processes Standardized or ‘Virtual warehouse’ Standardized Ledgers, Journals, etc. Analytical processes (controls, internal audit) Reporting processes Business Intelligence Corporate Policies Entity services Others

PricewaterhouseCoopers38 What is the SEC doing?

PricewaterhouseCoopers39 Chairman Christopher Cox of the SEC “I'd like to invite every public company, [especially] those companies not yet involved in our voluntary filing program, to consider whether they should obtain a copy of this new GAAP set of data tags... and its supporting documentation and consider using it alongside your current process as you prepare your calendar 2007 filings or your filings for the fourth quarter of 2007.” Will XBRL be mandated? “This is the recommendation that we will be seeking from all of the offices within the Spring of next year.” From the “Major Announcement About Interactive Data in Financial Reporting, Tuesday, September 25, 2007”

PricewaterhouseCoopers40 Voluntary Filing Program Test group opened in early 2006 and over 40 companies have joined to date Commitment to submit 4 XBRL based filings over 12 months Commitment to provide feedback on level of effort and cost SEC staff provides accelerated reviews of registration statements or annual reports to test group participants Test group continues to remain open to new participants (contact Jeff Naumann at for more Cost is nominal $5k to $25k for initial ‘bolt on’ approach.
