Unlike the U.S.-based COSO Internal Control Framework, CobiT has become an internationally-recognized set of standards for good internal control practices. The ISACA organization provides several free publications for use in education, including IT Governance Using CobiT and Val IT Student Book, as well as a model curriculum to aid educators in designing programs in accounting and management information systems. The presenter will give an overview of the CobiT framework and how it can be used in an accounting information systems course and discuss other resources that can be obtained from ISACA.
8:30 am – 10:00 am	S1G. CPE Workshop: Teaching and Curriculum Accounting – (Overview) - 4.0 credit hours An Introduction to XBRL 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) specification for identifying and communicating financial information in business reports. XBRL now includes taxonomies for financial reporting in US GAAP as well as International Financial Standards, accounting transactions, and related other business reporting activities. It is being developed by a consortium of over 400 companies and agencies worldwide including the AICPA, all major accounting firms, and most professional accounting organizations. The SEC is currently upgrading the Edgar database to handle XBRL financial reports and is expected to begin the transition to reporting in XBRL format for all registrant companies in 2008. Topics covered in this workshop will include at least the basic XML family of technologies, building and working with XBRL documents, understanding XBRL schemas and taxonomies, classroom applications, and XBRL software tools. No prior knowledge of XBRL is expected. Workshop participants will work with classroom tested applications. Presenter: Clinton (Skip) White, Professor and MIS Area Coordinator, Department of Accounting & MIS, University of Delaware.
