“Access to timely and accessible data can have a positive impact on the usefulness of business reporting,” said Wes Bricker PwC Vice Chair, US and Mexico Assurance Leader, and Chair of XBRL International. “This program will address how through digitization and standardization, we can promote an information environment that can lead to better decision making for participants in the capital markets.”    

The program will include sessions on legal entity identifiers, what investors need from issuers, and how standards in place today have helped stakeholders have access to critical, time-sensitive information. Attendees will also learn about free tools that can be leveraged today to access standardized data.
