Comments on: 10 questions when reviewing XBRL software http://xbrlblog.com/10-questions-when-reviewing-xbrl-software.html it is about improving the way information is shared Fri, 03 Feb 2012 09:59:24 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.1 By: John Sandman http://xbrlblog.com/10-questions-when-reviewing-xbrl-software.html/comment-page-1#comment-4586 John Sandman Wed, 02 Jun 2010 16:49:56 +0000 http://xbrlblog.com/?p=289#comment-4586 Hi Derek: To pick up where I left off in my initial message: my essential question concerns what process exists to vet or rank XBRL vendors, particularly in support of the automation of corporate actions. XBRL.US has a lot of vendors featured prominently on its Website. XBRL.org doesn't seem to. Is there anything, for example, like the Swift Partners Solutions? Should there be? Because XBRL was originally an accounting standard and because it later became deployed by government regulators in the securities and banking industries, the corporate actions wrinkle is new. Do you have any comments on how firms should approach XBRL vendors that design corporate actions functionality? Thanks in advance for any comments, John Sandman Hi Derek:

This is a test--I want to make sure this goes through. If it doesn't kick back, I'll provide more details. Thanks, John Hi Derek:
