XBRL & IR Websites

What I’m going to cover
XBRL mandate
IR websites and the social financial web
Investor relations adoption
Our view of what’s required
Current and future solutions

XBRL Mandate
XBRL must be hosting data on filer’s IR site
Must remain there for at least 12 months
Within same calendar day
No requirement to do more than provide the RAW XBRL

XBRL and IR Websites
Companies are doing the bare minimum with XBRL on their websites. ‘They’re complying with the SEC rules by putting their XBRL statements on the web but they aren’t giving users any tools to play around with them,’
Neal Hannon, senior XBRL consultant at Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Gilbane Group. IR Magazine Blog, July 29, 2009 http://bit.ly/pTEle

Social media defining online experience

Financial Blogs and Social Networks
Largest financial blog aggregator Partnered with Yahoo!Finance
4 million unique users/month – 25% institutional investors
Trading social network. Based on Twitter. Available through Bloomberg.
Wiki finance portal. Social interactive data.

Investor Relations Adoption
Until IROs see XBRL as a strategic tool they will always look to the minimum to be compliant
What value can IRO provide to their investors that they are not currently offering? (Basic tables not enough)
Focus on IROs and investors and giving them innovative tools that are immediate, valuable and shareable
Data should be discoverable, portable and viral

Our view of what’s needed
Render financials on the IR website
Interactive features
Discoverable by search engines
Download of raw XBRL
Maintain link to authority (SEC database)
URL is permanent http://mycompany.com/SECFilings/20090615/10K/Exhibit101/MyCompany.xsd
Charts and visualization
Shareable and embeddable
Atomized content (i.e. share just income statement)
