The Most Important Shareholder Initiative in a Decade (MotleyFool.com - 24Mar08

By Tim Beyers

Guess who's working on the single most important shareholder initiative in a decade? Berkshire Hathaway? Nope. Apple? Wrong. The do-gooders at Google? Wrong again.

The company doing more for shareholders than any other right now is Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT)! See for yourself. (Microsoft's Silverlight software required to view.) Go ahead. I'll wait.

Those at-a-glance performance indicators are made possible by a developing standard called XBRL, which I first wrote about back in September.

Oh, EDGAR, how you've grown
To review, XBRL, short for eXtensible Business Reporting Language, is a way to code financial data -- "tagging," as it's known -- so that it can be easily organized.

Yes, it is as powerful as it sounds. Witness the Microsoft investor site. By tagging and then aggregating data available in various public sources, Mr. Softy has made it possible, with a few simple mouse clicks, to know everything there is to know about its business -- and, even better, to get that data into a historical record by way of a spreadsheet. (A button for exporting data to Excel is at the bottom of each of Microsoft's data pages.)

Notice, too, that Microsoft included supplementary metrics that are essential points of discussion in analyst presentations, conference calls, and quarterly reports. Microsoft Chief Financial Officer Chris Liddell asked his team to organize this mostly ad-hoc information and post it for easy access. Never before has the bar for transparency been set so high.

Need I count the ways this is good for shareholders? Here are just a few:

  • Barriers to understanding are removed. Pick a 10-K annual filing. Any 10-K filing. Read it. Now, is it really so hard to understand why there aren't more people who successfully invest in individual stocks? Only the terminally addicted enjoy reading these documents and picking them apart for the critical data that exists within.
  • Disclosure becomes simpler and more powerful. If there's a lesson to be had from the current financial crisis and the ones that preceded it, it's that, in our nation of Enrons, disclosure will always be an issue when it rests in the hands of executives who don't share the dreams of shareholders. XBRL rightly flips the equation. When data distribution is democratic, insider and provincial advantages become (mostly) meaningless, as Fool co-founder David Gardner points out.
  • Analysis, not access, becomes paramount. I can't stress this last point enough. Successful investing should never, ever hinge on how much data you're able to access. You should always be able to synthesize the available information into a logical and defensible thesis. That was the rationale for Regulation FD. It's the rationale here as well, and it's still a good one. Begone, yon wicked ivory tower!

Yet with all of these obvious benefits, a problem remains: Few people know about XBRL, or about Microsoft's push for greater disclosure, or -- worst of all -- about the little-publicized resistance to XBRL adoption that a number of companies have expressed to the SEC working group tackling the technology, known as the Advisory Committee for Improving Financial Reporting.

I know about it only because Fool analyst Bill Mann, a member of that working group, told me. Well, that, and because I looked at the active roster for the XBRL consortium. Exactly none of the companies I listed at the open -- all thought to be paragons of investing virtue, to some degree -- is a member.

Dumb. Really freaking dumb, guys.

Here's why. American companies, already under fire for lagging in ethics, R&D, and growth, lag in XBRL, too. Adobe (Nasdaq: ADBE), Accenture (NYSE: ACN), and CBS (NYSE: CBS) are three of the notable American names backing XBRL. But many other supporters are big foreign financials, such as South Korea's Kookmin Bank (NYSE: KB), Puerto Rico's Popular (Nasdaq: BPOP), and Germany's Deutsche Bank (NYSE: DB).

What you can do
If you agree that XBRL will improve disclosure, let your voice be heard. There are three ways to do so. First, tell Microsoft what you think of its XBRL pages. Second, find out more about XBRL and the public comment process.

And third? Contact the investor-relations departments for each of the companies you invest in. Ask them what their plans are for XBRL, and if they're not implementing it or planning to do so, demand to know why.

It's far better to be a nation of Fools than a nation of Enrons.

EDGAR Online First U.S. Public Company to Concurrently File 10-K and Financials Using Latest XBRL Standard (17Mar08)

EDGAR Online, Inc. announced today that it is the first public company to simultaneously submit a Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2007 and XBRL- tagged financial statements to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) using the most recent taxonomies, or XBRL data tags, which were first released by SEC Chairman Cox in December. The 10-K filing and corresponding XBRL translation of EDGAR Online's 2007 financials were submitted and accepted by the SEC EDGAR system today.

The company utilized its I-Metrix platform to convert its financial statements to the latest XBRL standard and filed the documents with the EDGAR system through partner R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company , the leading provider for XBRL services in the U.S. filing market.

"As an organization that is keenly aware of the value that XBRL brings to the capital markets, we are excited to be able to show how quickly and easily a company's financial statements can be translated using our platform and the new taxonomies released by the SEC at the end of last year," said Philip Moyer, CEO of EDGAR Online. "Of course, our database of 10 years of XBRL tagged financials for over 12,000 public companies and XBRL filing solution with R.R. Donnelley can provide the same degree of speed and flexibility for all other SEC filers regardless of size."

Added Moyer, "XBRL isn't a future technology -- it is here, and we are proud to demonstrate that companies can reliably provide the transparency that the investing community seeks without spending hundreds of hours and tens of thousands of dollars deciphering a new technology standard."

Japan's Financial Services Agency Launches New Electronic Corporate Disclosure System (Exchange News Digest - 17Mar08)

The Financial Services Agency (FSA) today launched new EDINET (Electronic Disclosure for Investors' NETwork) system.

EDINET is an electronic corporate disclosure system under the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act, and all listed or major fund-raising companies and investment funds in Japan are required to file their disclosure documents using the system. The corporate disclosure documents submitted by these entities are publicly available on the Internet through EDINET. All filers are, in principle, mandated to submit in XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) format the financial statements included in their Annual Securities Reports, Semiannual Securities Reports, Quarterly Securities Reports and Securities Registration Statements for fiscal years starting in or after April 2008.

Quarterly Securities Reports for the first fiscal quarter ending June 2008 will be the first filing in XBRL format. XBRL will facilitate investors to utilize the financial information in an advanced manner through directly downloading the financial information, and processing and analyzing downloaded data with their computers. In new EDINET, the financial information of approximately 5,000 companies and 3,000 investment funds is to be filed and available for public in XBRL format through EDINET. It is one of the most advanced XBRL-adopted electronic disclosure systems in the world.

The financial statements in XBRL format are to be prepared using "EDINET Taxonomy" (Japanese GAAP taxonomy), the final version of which was published in February 8, 2008. ( http://www.fsa.go.jp/singi/edinet/20080208/06.zip http://www.fsa.go.jp/singi/edinet/20080208/06.zip )

FSA continuously advances its efforts in relation to XBRL through various activities such as collaborative work aimed at achieving multinational interoperability together with IASCF (International Accounting Standards Committee Foundation) and US SEC (United States Securities and Exchange Commission).

XBRL-US Names Campbell Pryde VP, Domain and Chief Standards Officer (14Mar08)

WASHINGTON, March 14 /PRNewswire/ -- XBRL US, the nonprofit consortium for XML business reporting standards in the US marketplace, announced today that Campbell Pryde will join the organization as Vice President, Domain and Chief Standards Officer. In his new role, Mr. Pryde will lead the development and maintenance of taxonomies for XML-based business reporting applications in the US. This position will play an integral part of the executive team of XBRL US in determining the strategy for taxonomy development and maintenance.

"The Chief Standards Officer is a pivotal position in driving adoption," said Jeff Diermeier, President and CEO, CFA Institute, "Campbell Pryde's background in both accounting and investments makes him uniquely qualified to step into this role."Mr. Pryde joins XBRL US from Morgan Stanley, where as Executive Director in the Institutional Securities Group, he managed the equity research XBRL- based valuation framework. He has been involved with XBRL since 2001, and most recently served as Chairman of the XBRL US Domain Steering Committee, which is responsible for setting the strategic direction for development of the XBRL US GAAP taxonomies. Prior to joining Morgan Stanley, Mr. Pryde was a Partner in the Risk and Advisory Practice of KPMG LLP. He is a member of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants.

"Our successes in 2007 with the SEC project are due in no small part to the leadership of Campbell as the steering committee chairman," said Mark Bolgiano, President and CEO of XBRL US, Inc. "In the course of working together, we discovered a shared vision of the opportunities for XML business reporting in the US, and for XBRL US as a change agent and standard setter. I am very confident that Campbell has the ideas and ability to execute to realize that vision."XBRL US is currently under contract with the SEC to build out the US GAAP Taxonomies and develop guidance on creating XBRL-enabled financial statements for preparers. On December 5, the draft Taxonomies and documentation were made available for public review and XBRL US encourages public company preparers, investors, analysts and software providers to participate and provide comment.

Fujitsu introduces financial reporting software (Computer Business Review - 12May08)

Fujitsu has launched its XWand Tool software offering, which generates the XBRL-formatted financial reporting data that will be required for the Japan Financial Services Agency's EDINET system from the beginning of the 2008 fiscal year.

According to Fujitsu, the automated software tool will help companies to comply with the new mandatory reporting system, as no advanced knowledge of XBRL will be necessary to produce XBRL-formatted financial reports and submit the reports on the Japan Financial Services Agency's (FSA) EDINET system.

XBRL has emerged as an international standard computer language for generating, distributing, and utilizing financial information. Fujitsu has been involved in the XBRL Consortium, which sets the standards for the format, since the body's inception. In 2003, Fujitsu introduced Interstage Xwand; a middleware offering that handles XBRL data and is now being sold in over 20 countries.

The use of XBRL promises to lower the cost of handling financial information for companies, auditors, regulatory authorities, analysts, investors, and information services, while ensuring that accurate information is available quickly and in a usable form.

Users can readily create all types of financial reporting data in an EDINET-compliant XBRL format, such as balance sheets and income statements. In addition, the software can generate HTML previews of the financial reports. Fujitsu said that the product features user-friendly data entry screens and wizards and visual verification prior to submission.

Fujitsu hopes that the FSA's new legislation will drive sales of its new software offering, and has set a sales target of JPY30bn ($ 290m) from all XBRL-related business over a three-year period.

XBRL: Next Stop, UK? (IR Magazine, UK - 05Mar08)

By Clare Harrison

March 5, 2008

US drive on online reporting language will push UK to tipping point

LONDON -- The SEC's drive to make XBRL mandatory will drive forward change in Britain, predicts a UK-based specialist.

The UK's Investor Relations Society (IRS) hosted the discussion yesterday as part of its program of webinars entitled: 'XBRL: are more headaches heading your way? '
 
The UK has been slow in moving toward XBRL - regulator the Financial Services Authority and the London Stock Exchange have both adopted a wait-and-see approach - but interest is growing.

Some 66 percent of participants logging on for the IRS webinar admitted to having no experience of XBRL but over 50 percent expected to be using it within the next 12 months.

Dr Joanne Locke, research fellow from Birmingham Business School at the University of Birmingham, predicted that the new mindset in the UK could be fuelled by developments in the US. 'It may be that the US push toward XBRL will, in the end, motivate national bodies to adopt XBRL tags,' she said.

She added that providing information with this extra functionality could be a good way to attract more investment from the US. 'Early adopters could earn kudos from the market as well as benefit from more input on the taxonomies (the XBRL classification schemes),' she noted.

The session included an update on global XBRL adoption from Mike Willis, a partner at PricewaterhouseCoopers. He outlined developments including Tokyo's plans to mandate XBRL from April this year.

Questions then inevitably turned to cost. 'There are several plug-ins available, some of which are open-source, but the cost really comes in mapping the underlying taxonomies,' Willis explained.

Whatever happens, the nature of European information dissemination means a Europe-wide regulatory impetus is unlikely. 'The bottom line is that European regulators are looking at an integrated network of national databases,' said Locke.
