XBRL US National Conference
Thanks to our Conference Sponsors

Welcome to the first XBRL US National Conference: Financial Reporting – Advancing Transparency and Transforming the Dialogue!
This summer kicked off the biggest implementation of XBRL in the United States with the requirement from the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) for public companies to submit XBRL-tagged financial statements. This 1½ day conference will help you better understand the impact this technology standard will have on your business in terms of greater accuracy, transparency and simply a better connection with your shareholders. You will also hear from the SEC, from public companies and from auditors, on how the US GAAP implementation is going and even more importantly, learn about what’s ahead for financial executives and investors with initiatives like corporate actions and proxy reporting
Join us for an informative program that will give you the tools you need to understand how XBRL is changing your dialogue with investors.
