The Benefits - Beyond SEC Reporting Single source for ALL possible external reporting Benchmarking, peer comparisons, research Internal consistency across all locations Enhanced control; significant reduction to manual handling/manipulation of data Facilitation and increased reliability of ad hoc data requests
11
Items for Consideration Current “chicken and egg” situation Continued taxonomy development and use of extensions Creation of sufficient mass Initiatives and acceptance by agencies beyond the SEC Attest requirements, standards and industry learning curve
12
Attestation Current standards do not exist Level and type of assurance to be required Our auditor’s experience Industry involvement required in advance of any mandate
13
Conclusion & Call to Action There is a learning curve, however, after initial effort, time expended drops off significantly Fastest way to learn and understand XBRL is to jump in and start tagging Cost/resources should not be/are not an issue Benefits become more obvious with familiarity Critical mass is needed; difficult to “play ball” with everyone on the sidelines Need analyst community to push on their channels Attestation aspect needs development
