Evaluation and Education
XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) is a robust XML-based reporting framework designed to improve the usefulness of business and financial data. XBRL opens up financial information to advanced search and analysis that was never possible before.
Bowne has played and continues to play a leading role in the SEC voluntary filing program. Bowne created and filed the first XBRL document to the SEC in April 2005 and has continued to submit its XBRL financial statement information on a regular basis as a member of the SEC voluntary program's Test Group. The experience and expertise we've gained in this process has enabled us to help many companies understand and work with this new technology. Our XBRL specialists are available to discuss the current XBRL regulatory initiatives with you including your options on participating and submitting XBRL data to the SEC.
Bowne's XBRL team is headed up by Rob Blake, Senior Director of Interactive Services. Rob has more than 16 years of experience in business reporting and technology and is a founding member of XBRL. Prior to joining Bowne, Rob was the Project Director for the SEC's US GAAP Financial Statement Taxonomy Project, where he oversaw the creation of the new XBRL taxonomies that will be used by all US public companies.
Bowne's knowledgeable and qualified XBRL team is available to discuss the current SEC XBRL initiatives, XBRL's impact on today and tomorrow's regulatory reporting environment, the benefits of participating in the current voluntary program, and its potential impact on your business.
