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.

2009 Version of US GAAP XBRL Taxonomy Released
The 2009 version of the US GAAP XBRL Taxonomy was released by XBRL US about a week ago. That page has information helpful in the general use of the taxonomy:
- Home page of the taxonomy: http://xbrl.us/Pages/US-GAAP.aspx
- Viewing the taxonomy (the CI entry point which most companies will use): http://viewer.xbrl.us/yeti/resources/yeti-gwt/Yeti.jsp#tax~(id~6*v~31)!net~(a~78*l~25)!lang~(code~en-us)
- Preparer's guide: http://xbrl.us/Documents/PreparersGuide.pdf
For some reason, a pointer to the web version of the taxonomy (such as this for the PRIOR TAXONOMY http://xbrl.us/us-gaap/1.0/ WHICH POINTS TO THE PRIOR TAXONOMY or this one which points to the IFRS taxonomy http://xbrl.iasb.org/taxonomy/2009-04-01/) is NOT being made available.
Eventually, I am going to build some extension taxonomies which make working with the US GAAP Taxonomy easier. Not sure when I will get around to it.
