XBRL International, in collaboration with XBRL US, is hosting a free workshop designed to help European-based public companies file financial statements to the SEC EDGAR System. Senior officials from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will be present to answer questions from public company executives about integrating XBRL into their business reporting process. The SEC EDGAR System is the world’s largest public access Web site to financial statement information used by millions of investors.

The workshop will feature case studies from companies in Europe that are participating in the Securities & Exchange Commission's (SEC) Voluntary Filing Program.
