Sole Practitioners Can Join XBRL US as Individual Members

Now is the time to join!

Accounting firms, software companies, data intermediaries and regulators including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) view XBRL as part of their vision on how to bring transparency to the markets. Now is the time to join industry leaders in XBRL US and get the tools you need to educate your organization and students. As a sole practitioner member of XBRL US, you can join ad hoc committees and gain access to information on development projects (see inset box at right for details on benefits).

Get the inside knowledge you need to respond to your clients

All CPAs need to know how XBRL factors into business reporting. Members can use analytical tools developed by XBRL US to review and screen on XBRL data for all public companies. Members also have early access to development projects, regulatory issues and industry trends. Members work together to move the standard forward. Joining the organization gives you information that can help guide your work and provide valuable resources you can use with your clients.

Join an interdisciplinary consortium of leaders

Industry leaders representing accounting, investments, technology, information processing, and consulting help define the standard and demonstrate their leadership. Accounting firm members include KPMG, Ernst & Young, PwC, Deloitte, ParenteBeard and BDO Seidman; software company members include Microsoft and Oracle. Other key members include the AICPA, the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), SWIFT, Broadridge Financial Solutions and Google, among others. Individual practitioners can join this prestigious group and access much of the same information.

Drive the standard that drives your business

Get details from influential committees and working groups that help set the direction and oversight for the ongoing development of our digital dictionary and the strategy behind communicating XBRL. Your understanding today lays the groundwork for XBRL tomorrow.

Increase your visibility

Membership gives you greater visibility as a leader in promoting transparency, accuracy and efficiency in business reporting through potential speaking roles, contributions to articles and more.
