Let's talk about XBRL
CFO World interviews Rivet client Joe Wakham of National Health Investors about their decision to use Rivet Software's Crossfire for XBRL reporting. "The ability to dynamically link our [general ledger] software to our reporting process was a significant factor in our decision to bring the XBRL tagging in-house," explains Wakham.

X (BRL) Marks the Spot; Says SEC
How does XBRL work? Patrick Quinlan, president of Denver-based firm Rivet Software, explains: "Rivet develops software
for XBRL creation and viewing and web-based financial aggregation, analysis, and publishing solutions. We built the SEC
rendering engine that allows XBRL-based financial reports to be viewed on the SEC website. Look at XBRL as a UPC code.
When a supermarket scans it, they know the product; when they received it; the expiration date; what they paid for it and
what they will charge the consumer. When you look at an XBRL filing with the SEC and scan over a number, it will describe
in exact detail what that number means."
