This full day workshop, held in conjunction with the 11th Annual XBRL Conference at Bryant University, is designed to help CPAs understand what they must do, what they can do, and what their clients expect of them.
Bryant University has been at the forefront of XBRL Education from the first days of XBRL, leading the way through its annual conference, outreach to other academics and students and especially founding and continuously administrating the annual XBRL academic competition, providing the XBRLEducation.com web site, and producing journal and articles.
Bryant will be bringing together leading speakers and thought leaders in the XBRL community to discuss XBRL, and will be hosting a special one day track (as part of the two day conference) focused on CPAs in practice.  CPAs from the local and surrounding area are invited to Bryant's ' attractive training  facilities for cost-effective practical and hands-on learning about XBRL and the SEC mandate.

The workshop on September 30 is in two distinct sessions.

The morning session, for all relevant practitioners, will provide the background on the SEC mandate, its impact on CPA firms and their clients, and the opportunities Year 3 of the SEC mandate brings. The afternoon session, for those ready to gain a more technical background, will be a hands-on session to learn the software and technology of the XBRL filings for the SEC mandate. Bryant's training laboratories have everything you will need to walk away with a strong grasp of the preparation and review tasks necessary for quality XBRL filings.
