Movaris Joins XBRL Consortium to Contribute Expertise to Evolving Financial Disclosures Standard
SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 13, 2006--

  XBRL Will Play an Important Role for Regulatory Agencies and CFOs of Well-Run Finance Departments Who Are Demanding a Unified Solution for Compliance, Close and Financial Disclosure Activities  



Movaris, the leader in automating the financial close, compliance and reporting processes, today announced that it joined XBRL International, a non-profit consortium of approximately 350 companies dedicated to the development and support of XBRL (Extensible Business Reporting Language). Through its active participation in driving the XBRL standard, Movaris is committed to helping companies unify and automate their "last mile of finance," the series of activities performed during the financial close and reporting process, into repeatable, auditable and efficient processes.

Movaris will contribute its extensive technical and financial domain expertise to the development of XBRL, while Movaris customers will benefit from future integration of XBRL into its flagship product, Movaris OneClose. OneClose is the industry's only enterprise application that unifies financial controls and close tasks with the creation of a company's financial statements, creating a system of record for both financial close and financial compliance.

"We are pleased to have the participation of Movaris in helping make XBRL a successful solution to many of the reporting issues facing companies and regulatory agencies," said Karl Best, executive director, XBRL-US. "Movaris' in-depth, holistic understanding of the financial close and reporting process and its expertise in automating business processes to ensure greater efficiency and accuracy will be a great asset for the XBRL consortium as we guide the future direction of electronic filings."

"XBRL International is at the forefront of new standards and technologies that are making financial reporting more accessible, accurate and representative of the true financial state of a public company," said Movaris founder and Chief Technology Officer Steve Yankovich. "As XBRL moves toward becoming the de facto standard for financial filings, Movaris looks forward to offering these enhanced capabilities in our flagship product, Movaris OneClose."

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has also embraced this new document reporting standard because consumers of financial data, including investors, analysts, financial institutions and regulators, can receive, find, compare and analyze data much more rapidly and efficiently in XBRL format.
