Standard Setting Considerations 37

 We are in a paradigm shift from print/PDF to electronic data, but … -The “narrative” is still grounded in presentation -Many still use print statements -Many requirements are set in SEC Rules  Our aim is to shift the narrative more towards electronic data to better anticipate change Transforming Financial Reporting 38

 Three key dimensions -Presentation -Relationships, disaggregation, recognition -Metadata/attributes XBRL changes the geography question 39

69.Upon initial recognition of the receivable, any difference between the measurement of the receivable in accordance with Topic 310 and the corresponding amount of revenue recognized shall be presented in profit or loss as a separate line item adjacent to the revenue line item. If the contract does not have a significant financing component in accordance with paragraph 58, an entity shall present any impairment of the receivable (or change in the measurement of an impairment) in profit or loss as a separate line item adjacent to the revenue line item. Revenue Recognition (Topic 605) Proposed Accounting Standards Update (Revised) 40

OCI - Potential Classification Models  Degree of Persistence  Core / Non-core  Management Control (Stewardship)  Remeasurements  Degree of Measurement Uncertainty  Time Horizon until Realization  Operating v. Investing & Financing  Other? Instead of classifying, could we just provide the attributes? 41

 Organization, Formatting, and Style The Board indicated that a Discussion Paper would present a number of ways that a reporting entity could organize information within the notes to the financial statements. Organization of information would not only apply to the ordering of individual notes but also to the information within each note. The Discussion Paper also would provide ideas pertaining to the formatting and style of information in the notes with the intent of establishing clear communication of the information that an entity provides. Disclosure Framework 42

 The project will include ways reporting entities can improve the organization and formatting of their disclosures  Organization would not only apply to the order of the notes but to the order of the information within the notes  Discussion paper will include guidance pertaining to: Referencing/cross-referencing Use of headings and tables Entity specific disclosures Organization and Formatting 43

 Encourage tabular disclosures over narrative  Deemphasize presentation centric view  Identify key attributes that should be disclosed and consider how we can shape the outcome using XBRL Taking advantage of XBRL 44

 A song on iTunes is to an ‘album’ what cash is to assets.  If people no longer buy albums and only buy the songs, what does that mean for assets? Final thoughts 45

 “David Weinberger attacks the complexity of the real world, not by making it simple, but by making it clear. Once he explains how things can be in more than one place at a time-and make sense-you’ll never look at a humble bookshelf or store shelf the same way again.” -- Esther Dyson, author of Release 2.0Esther Dyson 46
