You may have heard of XBRL and wonder if there is any connection to SOX section 302 and 404. Well, the answer is ….yes. XBRL, eXtensible Business Reporting Language, is a global electronic information format designed to transmit and store business information in a machine readable format.
The XBRL tags are part of taxonomies developed by market constituents, publicly available and license free. Taxonomies consist of financial concept definitions in which each business concept is defined and assigned a relationship to other concepts. Companies are required to ensure their tags are accurate and consistent. XBRL processes should be a well-integrated part of your 302 and 404 financial evaluation process.
This course outlines the various impact of XBRL on SOX sections 302 and 404 and provides valuable insight into how to prepare for those impacts and learn how to address them in detail.

This is a great overview of XBRL - I found it very technical having not covered the topic before but still managed to understand enough to pass the test. Lynn's presentation was clear and demonstrated her expertise in this area.

I liked the fact that this had been divided into quite small sessions. I did not take the suggested basic course but that could have been useful. Very good training.
