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.

EDGAR Online and UBmatrix to Merge

It was announced today that EDGAR Online and UBmatrix will merge. Here is the first two paragraphs of the press release:

NEW YORK and REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- EDGAR® Online, Inc. (Nasdaq: EDGR) and UBmatrix, Inc. today announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement that would create the first global end-to-end provider of solutions for the creation, validation and analysis of XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) content.  UBmatrix is one of the original inventors of the XBRL financial standard, which is being mandated worldwide by many regulators to improve the transparency and efficiency of business reporting.

The merger would combine EDGAR Online's position as the leading provider of U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) public company XBRL filings and XBRL data, and UBmatrix's experience as the leading XBRL software provider to independent software vendors and major U.S. and international regulators.  The combined entity will be strongly positioned to provide global markets with XBRL based transparency solutions from issuers to regulators to investors.
