US - XBRL National Conference

This summer kicked off the biggest implementation of XBRL in the United States with the requirement from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for public companies to submit XBRL-tagged financial statements. A conference will be held in New York on November 17-18, 2009 to help companies better understand the impact this technology standard will have on business in terms of greater accuracy, transparency and simply a better connection with shareholders. The conference will feature sessions by the SEC, public companies and auditors, on how the US GAAP implementation is going and even more importantly, about what’s ahead for financial executives and investors with initiatives like corporate actions and proxy reporting. (Get more information and register for the first XBRL US National Conference: Financial Reporting – Advancing Transparency and Transforming the Dialogue!)
