Background  This far, you have heard about XBRL GL and  Internal reporting  Internal controls  IT controls  In this session, you will learn about  Audit community interest in XBRL GL  Representing a seamless electronic audit trail  Active participation – catalyst to benefits

Audit Community Interest  OECD Taxpayer Services  OECD Tax eAudit  OASIS Tax XML

OECD SAF: Brief History  OECD Committee on Fiscal Affairs Forum on Tax Administration  Begun to consider effect of electronic commerce on tax administrators  Value of a standard audit file in light of 25 EU countries auditing one multinational organization

OECD SAF -> OECD Tax eAudit  Delivered two documents  749_ _1_1_1_1,00.html  Guidance on Tax Compliance for Developers of Business And Accounting Software for Tax Purposes  Guidance for the Standard Audit File - Tax  “[R]evenue authorities should be aware of the on-going development of XBRL GL, which could offer a more holistic approach to audit. They should also be aware of international efforts to develop data standards for compliance needs under the formal OASIS Tax XML Committee.[2][2]  In their implementation strategy for SAF-T, revenue authorities should consider data formats that permit audit automation today while minimizing potential costs to all stakeholders when moving to new global open standards for business and financial data such as XBRL GL.”

OASIS Tax XML  Under OASIS   In conjunction with OECD Taxpayer Services  Delivered whitepaper  Support for XBRL and specifically XBRL GL  Expressing interest in a global audit file standard  Committing resources  Whitepaper URL  open.org/committees/download.php/14242/OASIS_XM L_Position_Paper_for_Tax_Administrations_v2-01.pdf

The Seamless Audit Trail  From initial transaction  Through the system, monolithic or virtual  To reporting  Every system as XBRL GL

Seamless Audit Trail  XBRL GL can represent any and all of the chain  Cross referencing between XBRL GL documents  uniqueID and other tools  Of course, XBRL GL can only represent what is available

Flow: XBRL GL Can Represent 1. Trigger: a source document is represented electronically 2. Source Journal The document is entered and posted, creating a source journal. 3. Journal entries: The accounting implications are gathered and prepared for the GL. 4. GL Entries: the journal entries are prepared for posting to the GL. 5. Journal History: The entries are posted to the Journal History. 6. Consolidation: The data at journal entry or trial balance level are brought together. 7. Reporting: Consolidated numbers combine for eventual reporting. Posting Journal Invoice Distribution To GL Report Source Journal General Journal Transaction Posting Journal History Report Consolidating/ Consolidated

Unique Attributes Between Stages 1. Document type, document #, C/V/E/O #, document date, physical location 2. Source Journal Code, number, date 3. Source system, entry number, posting date? 4. Entry number, posting date? 5. Originating organization 6. Mapping to reporting 7. ???

XBRL GL Can Capture the Fingerprints Document number, type, date Party type, ID Document location MD5, SHA1 Convert to/from XBRL GL

XBRL GL  As standard export format for an “audit file” … and more  Built in to audit software today  As payload for Web services tomorrow

As Input to Audit Documentation

CAATS and CA-AuD Computer Assisted Audit Techniques Computed Aided Audit Tools CA-AuD may Have embedded CAAT capabilities Rely on external CAAT services CA-AuD must Capture procedures performed Evidence obtained Conclusions reached CAATs need to be smarter, communicate better Need CAAT/CA-AuD exchange vocabulary Is it the right CAAT food for the test? Evidence retention Reporting CA-AuD: Would you run this test for me please? CAAT: With pleasure – here is your query and results. CA-AuD: Thank you kindly. Hmm, I wasn’t expecting that. Can you increase the sample size? CAAT: With pleasure – here is your query and results. CA-AuD: Thank you kindly. Much better. That’s all for now. CAAT: All your base are belong to us. CA-AuD: Huh?

Interesting Audit Related Fields Element (gl-cor)Usage uniqueIDA “Serial number” for an accountingEntries structure revisesUniqueIDAn indicator that this accountingEntries structure reflects a change to a previously provided batch of information, showing the original uniqueID from that accountingEntries structure revisesUniqueIDActionAn indicator that the new batch of information either replaces or adds to the original batch Issues: How can uniqueness for [uniqueID] across accounting systems, both within a single organization and across multiple organizations be encouraged?

Active Participation – Catalyst to Benefits  MAP  Map to your systems and develop a prototype  GAP  Influence your software developers  LAP  Help us determine what’s next  OVERLAP  Help with the XBRL GL to XBRL FR linkages
