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.

SEC Releases Financial Explorer

Watch out Microsoft. The SEC has released yet another software application for making use of XBRL, expanding their product offerings to three applications. See the SEC XBRL web page, or more specifically see here for the Financial Explorer.

Maybe one day Google, Yahoo, or Microsoft will figure out how useful interactive data can be. Or even better, maybe some start up will surpass the current leaders, kind of like Google did a while back, becoming the leader in Internet search. Who know.

But anyway. I think it is great that the SEC is kicking the tires, seeing what is possible, leading the way and showing the possibilities of "interactive data". This kind of leadership is not something that us tax payers commonly sees from government agencies. Go SEC!

XBRL Widget

This is a widget created by iBlanket. It uses the SEC Excecutive compensation information. Seems what is going on here is that three different web sites are involved here. First this page, second the iBlanket widget, and third the SEC data in XBRL. I embedded the widget into this web page, took about 5 minutes.

You can grab this widget from the following URL: http://www.ibanknet.com/widgets/index.shtml
