Information Age: Transparency Is More Powerful Than Regulation
Information Age: Transparency Is More Powerful Than Regulation
March 30, 2009
...earlier this month Congress got a lesson on the potential of better disclosure. "Today's financial crisis was driven in part by a lack of accurate, easily usable information to give investors what they need to make informed, responsible decisions," testified Mark Bolgiano, chief executive of a non-profit technology and accounting consortium called XBRL US. "The value of toxic asset-backed securities remains a mystery because information on the underlying loans and ongoing viability of those loans and the securities themselves was not collected consistently and even if it had been, it would not have been in a usable, portable form."

Standard Business Reporting (SBR) is revolutionising business-to-government reporting around the globe.
When launched in July 2010, SBR will not only reduce the costs of reporting financial information to government, it will also help the business community to improve the quality of both internal and external reporting.
Reporting effected includes, annual financial reports, business activity statements, tax returns, and payroll tax. Led by the Treasury, the government agencies involved are the Australian Taxation Office, Australian Securities and Investment Commission, Australian Prudential Regulation Authority, and the state and territory revenue offices.
The SBR Conference brings together national and international experts who will demonstrate what Australian business can expect from SBR, explore and discuss global financial reporting trends including open standards such as XBRL, what SBR means to business, accountants and software developers, and ultimately help you to discover what you need to do to implement SBR.

XII Updates its IPR Policy
22 July 2009
XBRL International (XII) has updated its Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Policy to bring it up to date with current industry terminology and practice. It was approved by the International Steering Committee at their meeting on 22nd June 2009 after a period of membership review.
All Members, Participants, and Representatives, and any third parties attending any meeting of a Technical Working Group or a Practice Working Group (WG) or otherwise participating in XII activities are subject to this Policy.
The revised IPR Policy was adopted as a governing document of the corporation to take effect at 0001 UTC, 1st August, 2009 under transitional arrangements as follows:
- Individuals who join a WG on or after 1st August, 2009 will be required to accept the new policy upon joining WGs with notification to their employer that this has been done. Confirmation of their employer’s acceptance of the policy will also be required.
- Existing WG members will be required to have their employers agree to the new policy by 1st October, 2009 in order to continue their membership.
- All existing RECOMMENDATIONS are still subject to the old policy. Subsequent modifications to such RECOMMENDATIONS will be subject to the new policy.
- Any work in progress as of 1st August, 2009 will be subject to the new policy.
- Contributors to work that is currently in progress will be given the opportunity to withdraw their contribution by 1st August, 2009 if they cannot accept the new policy otherwise they will be deemed to have accepted that their previous contributions are subject to the new policy.
XII hopes that the revised IPR policy will be viewed as a significant improvement in providing flexibility in the use of the work product of the consortium. It has been designed to be simpler and easier to understand than the previous policy and to reflect input from all stakeholders. A “Frequently Asked Questions” (FAQ) document is also provided to explain the new policy and the reasons for change.
The old and new policies, as well as the FAQ document, are available from the XII website at http://www.xbrl.org/GoverningDocuments.
