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.

Data Junction Box

I ran across Virtuoso which has this notion of a "data junction box". That is exactly the sort of thing I am trying to get across with my notion of a fact database and knowledge base which is then used as information which is the basis of a financial report. My diagram is shown on page 4 of this document. See the GREEN box in the diagram.

Testing IFRS Fundamental Accounting Concept Relations on GitHub

I am going to create a version of the IFRS Fundamental Accounting Concept Relations metadata on GitHub to check out how that works. This will include the reporting styles, mapping rules, impute rules, and consistency checks.

If you are not familiar with GitHub, create an account (which is free) and work throught this tutorial. That will get you started.

Here is my initial repository: fac-ifrs (master)

I have someone helping me get started. I am going to keep the same technical syntax in this version. The files will simply be pulled from this GitHub location and people will be able to contribute, branch, etc. using the GitHub functionallity.

There are great videos on how to use GitHub.

Another alternative to GitHub is BitBucket. The good thing is that there are alternatives. Now, I have to figure how which is better, GitHub or BitBucket.
