BLOG: Digital Financial Reporting
This is a blog for information relating to digital financial reporting. This blog is basically my "lab notebook" for experimenting and learning about XBRL-based digital financial reporting. This is my brain storming platform. This is where I think out loud (i.e. publicly) about digital financial reporting. This information is for innovators and early adopters who are ushering in a new era of accounting, reporting, auditing, and analysis in a digital environment.
Much of the information contained in this blog is synthasized, summarized, condensed, better organized and articulated in my book XBRL for Dummies and in the chapters of Intelligent XBRL-based Digital Financial Reporting. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

Cool and Easy Comparison Applications
In an earlier post I mentioned that I had created a mashup controller page containing information about SEC filings. Here I am using that information to create two really simple to create but useful demos which compare SEC Interactive data filings and SEC filers taxonomies:
- Compare Interactive Data Information. This takes two SEC Interactive Data renderings, puts them into one HTML Frame, and shows you two filings side-by-side. Not that sophisticated or hard to do, but it seems useful to me.
- Compare XBRL Taxonomies Presentation View. This takes two HTML renderings of XBRL taxonomies, puts them side-by-side so you can compare filer taxonomies.
- Compare Extension Concepts Added. This allows you to select two companies and then compare the extension concepts added to their taxonomy of each, side-by-side.
Now, there is a lot you can do to make this better. For example, provide a combo box which allows the user to select the two filings or taxonomies that they want to compare.
