In a continued effort to educate on the development of XBRL technology in industries such as financial services (and beyond), Merrill Corporation will share articles and columns published on the topic.
We are most of the way into April and have yet to wish everyone that reads the Merrill Corp. FinServ blog a happy Financial Literacy Month. While this concept is based on educating the consumer on their budgeting and banking, it does remind those of us within the industry that the learning process for us should never end either.
With that in mind, this is the perfect time to mention two significant conferences over the next several months in which education in XBRL will be at the forefront. The obvious one is the 22nd XBRL International Conference, which is is produced by XBRL International, Inc. and is hosted by XBRL Europe. Being held in Brussels next month, this year's theme is Sharing Economic Information in a Global World: The XBRL Contribution.
The Conference program lists a plethora of topic areas that those of us working with the technology - from mutual funds to accounting procedures - can benefit from hearing, including An Overview of XBRL Adoption around the World by XBRL International CEO Tony Fragnito and International Standards Board Strategy from the ISB's Ray Lam. As for, breakout sessions, we will be very interested to hear what comes out of the discussion on XBRL Technology and Best Practices.
In addition to this, later this year, XBRL US, the nonprofit consortium for XML business reporting, will hold its annual conference in Nashville, Tennessee to cover how public companies can use XBRL for reporting and communicating to investors and regulators, as well as practical educational sessions on implementing XBRL for SEC reporting. Highlights of the conference will include a keynote from Frank Brod, Chief Accounting Officer, Microsoft Corporation, as well as tutorials on SEC and non-SEC uses for XBRL; and industry-specific case studies.
We all know that we have budgetary margins that are razor thin, but also remember that educational opportunities can be the first step in improving company revenue.
