Gather and Certify High-Quality Data for Efficient Financial Analysis

 

XBRL Forms

Commercially Available Off-The-Shelf (COTS) Software

---

 

XBRL Forms is a valuable add-on for organizations with a requirement to convert traditional financial returns (either internally generated or from external reporting organizations/regulated entities) into XBRL. XBRL Forms is an easy to implement, turn-key solution that provides an easy-to-use, web-based "thin client" front end for the controlled submission and certification of financial information or business data. Changes to your data reporting needs are handled virtually maintenance-free to further future-proof your organization.

 

 

XBRL Forms will support a high number of filing organizations of varying sizes and levels of sophistication. Even the smallest of clients can output XBRL instance documents without any previous knowledge of the standard.

 

 

 

Zero-Footprint Software

XBRL Forms provides a Java-based Zero-Footprint thin client for financial and business data entry. This means virtually zero software downloads are required - which translates into maximum compliance and maximum adoption. Zero-Footprint also means rapid deployment, including an easy migration path and only basic ongoing systems management required.

 

Validation & Certification

---

The Forms pages are automatically built and rendered based on information embedded in the taxonomy. Accurate submissions are ensured through extensive real-time validation as well as final certification.

Interactive Validation

Interactive validation occurs on a field by field basis: as the user enters data, they are alerted to fatal errors or warnings defined within the taxonomy.

Final Certification

Final certification occurs when the user is ready to submit or output the filing: all rules in the taxonomy are processed and a validation screen presents details on any and all fatal errors or warnings. Fatal errors will prevent a filing from being submitted, warnings will not.

Validation errors and warnings can be extended in the taxonomy to virtually cover an infinite number of business rules through the use of XBRL Formulas.
