XBRL US announced that they will be hosting a one-day conference, GovFin 2023: Empowering Governments, Modernizing Reporting, in Washington, DC, on Thursday, November 9, 2023. This educational forum will focus on the passage of legislation including the Financial Data Transparency Act (FDTA), and the Grants Reporting Efficiency and Transparency (GREAT) Act, and on how governments can explore what data standards are, and how they improve efficiencies and modernize reporting. The conference will be hosted by KPMG at their offices at 1801 K Street NW, in Washington, DC.
“This is a critical year for standardized data reporting for government entities and U.S. regulators given the recent legislation and an increasing demand for better, more actionable data from analysts, academic researchers, and policy-setters.” said Christine Kuglin, conference Chairperson and Professor, Daniels College of Business, University of Denver, “Government entities have much to gain from the innovation and modernization that these new standards can bring.”
The conference will feature case studies on federal standards programs implemented by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as well as local government case studies in Michigan and Colorado.
