Global Standards for Financial Information
Your financial reports and prospectuses are anything but standard, but now, for the first time in history, your information
sources can be standardized. Not just for some limited data, but
virtually any information in your company and the rest of the world, including global
public filings, internal accounting systems, and virtually any company or shared database. The XBRL standard gives financial professionals unprecedented
control over preparing, analyzing, and communicating financial information, whether numeric or text.

Leveraging Compliance
For public companies and mutual funds, the XBRL filing requirements may seem like just another burden. But the smartest
companies see compliance as only the first step on a journey towards the financial transformation of the organization. XBRL is really a revolution that
frees accountants from the constraints (and sometimes the tyranny) of proprietary data formats. Imagine a world where all the systems from inside or
outside your company produce information in the same format–and that you can access that information using concepts that you understand, like account codes,
or investment fund series, or debits/credits. Imagine being able to drag and drop account codes from any financial source directly into your
Microsoft Excel or Word document–and have the numbers and text automatically update when necessary. This is the real promise of XBRL, and Rivet is
delivering it right now!
