As public companies strive to make their financial statements XBRL-compliant, questions about the value of doing so remain.
Edgar Online has released a report illustrating how accountants, institutional investors and attorneys are using data tagged in Extensible Business Reporting Language format to analyze companies’ financials.
When did the XBRL agenda get hijacked? That’s the question we should be asking ourselves right now because the original intention of XBRL was to improve the quality and delivery of financial reporting - not merely to serve the needs of regulators around the world. But now that the dust has settled, and large swathes of businesses around the world are filing, or about to file their results in XBRL to regulators attention is turning to the other stakeholders in the XBRL game – most notably the companies that furnish the data. Gary Simon, FSN managing editor, explains how the XBRL game could change.
Robert Farrell, EDGAR Online's new CEO, is guiding the company to new heights. Come listen to Robert as he describes new opportunities for growth and profitibility while stablizing the company core. This 30 minute interview was broadcast live.
Nine years, five months, 17 days and counting... It's been that long since EDGAR Online, Inc. (EDGR) announced its commitment to build an XBRL data repository for SEC-reporting companies. [And, they have over $42 million in NOL C/F to prove it.]
For years, the SEC has required companies to make quarterly filings of financial information and provide additional information to notify investors of significant events within the company. Similar requirements exist for mutual funds and many investment managers. Every year, there are millions of forms submitted to the SEC.
