CPE Session 23: Sunday, August 6, 8:00 AM – NOON
Introduction to XBRL with Current Events and Classroom Applications
Description/Objectives:
The objective of this workshop is to introduce accounting educators to XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) and the family of technologies being developed to support business reporting and the "publication, exchange, and analysis of complex financial information." XBRL is an XML (eXtensible Markup Language) vocabulary for identifying and communicating information in business reports. XBRL now includes taxonomies for financial reporting in U.S. GAAP, as well as International Standards, general ledgers, and related other business reporting activities. It is being developed by a consortium of more than 300 companies and agencies worldwide, including the AICPA and all major accounting firms and professional accounting organizations. Topics covered in this workshop will include at least the basic XML family of technologies, building and working with XBRL documents, the role of XBRL schemas and taxonomies, classroom applications, and XML and XBRL software tools. Workshop participants will work with classroom-tested applications.
