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.

Public Company Quality Continues to Improve, 84% are Consistent

The quality of XBRL-based public company financial reports to the SEC as measured using a set of about 22 fundamental accounting concept relations continues to improve. Several software vendors/filing agents are closing in on 100% consistency with these basic expected accounting relationships.

About 84% of all public company financial filings are consistent with what is expected for these fundamental accounting concept relations.

Note that I am going to start publishing this information once every quarter or when important milestones are met.
