Topic Summary:
Few will argue against the assertion that corporate reporting needs to change radically in coming years. The mass of pronouncements and practical trends emerging around corporate reporting are beginning to impact many of the associated business operations within organizations of all types. The growing needs and expectations of investors and other stakeholders, and the increasing volume and complexity of required disclosure have directly changed the roles of executives throughout the corporate value chain, and have also initiated change in governance and internal working processes, as well as in the structure and presentation of corporate reports themselves.
An examination of the resources and operations required for creating optimal corporate reports unravels many of the unseen and immeasurable connections between people, knowledge, information and the business processes that define modern corporations themselves. Technology and the concept of a global marketplace have eliminated the geographic and time constraints that define traditional reporting efforts within organizations. How are organizations to survive and thrive given these challenges?
Creating structured, quantitative performance statements for non-financial data is a crucial step in delivering the benefits of XBRL to such information. This presentation will show a sample utilization of performance indicators from GRI G3 guidance, offer a model for how this information can be structured and standardized within various industry sectors, demonstrate some of the benefits of eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL), identify ways that XBRL can be used to add value to a corporate reporting software tool, and present a forward-looking solution for how to deliver potent and proactive 21st Century Corporate Reporting to investors and stakeholders around the globe.
