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.

Learning from Ten Years of Standardization Failure

This is an excellent video where the speaker talks about ten years of standardization failures with the purpose to learn from those failures.

The discusses the problems of bad and unusable standards, why protocols are power, balancing the power, and why standards are in the collective best interest of people.

Learning from the mistakes of others is a good way to learn.

Rough consensus and running code is the way to create standards.
