This week should be very interesting with the XBRL International community coming together in Paris. New products and speakers are participating from almost 30 countries.  The focus will be on Standard Business Reporting (SBR) and I will send out updates and news on a daily basis so check in every day. 

This report should give a picture of what is to come in reform of capital markets in the US with a global view, you may read the report at the following link. Enjoy!!

IRIS India released a study last week that I think you will find very interesting called " Sorry wrong number: Study finds financial results of 209 listed Indian companies don’t add up"
    

IRIS' study using XBRL finds that more than 200 listed Indian companies have discrepancies in their annual audited financial results. Some of the errors are serious, like for this company whose reserves in the balance sheet show a whopping Rs 2.16 billion discrepancy.

 
The study can be found here.

Have a great week!

This is going to be a lot of fun and I personally like to thank Christian  Dreyer and XBRL Switzerland  for the opportunity to share with you XBRL updates from my travels around the world.  Stay tuned for more information as I plan to keep you updated on a regular basis and this week I am heading east so I will have more things to share with you. Until then have a great day.
