Education Programs

In a continuing effort to help drive XBRL (Extensible Business Reporting Language) awareness and adoption at all levels, Rivet has created an Education Program that offers XBRL-specific software and educational materials geared for colleges/universities. Rivet provides quality classroom materials along with its hosted Crossfire Financial Reporting Platform at a substantial discount to make it easy for professors and instructors to make XBRL a part of the classroom experience.

The Software
Rivet Software's Crossfire Financial Reporting Platform shields the accounting and finance students from the sometimes daunting task of creating their documents in XBRL format. With Crossfire, tagging your financial information is as easy as using Microsoft Excel™ or Word™.

The Course Material
Developed by some of the best financial professionals in the academic world, the Crossfire instructional materials are an effective and usable complement to Rivet's industry leading software. Students will come away with both a clear understanding of the basics of XBRL for block and detail footnote tagging as well as how to use this data fro analysis and competitive comparisons.

Program Details
Rivet believes there is a need for colleges and universities to teach the fundamentals of XML and XBRL. Therefore, Rivet's Educational Program offers both software and course material at substantial discounts to qualified colleges and universities to make it as simple as possible to embrace XBRL.

Crossfire for College Computer Labs is a fully enabled version with a 12 month life from the date of registration. Instructors receive a version of Dragon Tag that is also fully functional but does not contain the 12 month time limit. This license is only for academic use and not for commercial use.

Rivet's course materials are included with every Crossfire for College Computer Labs purchase and include an Instructor Guide, Student Guide and pre-formatted Excel spreadsheets which guide your students through both basic and advanced exercises in preparing XBRL.

Free Copies For Professors/Instructors:
College professors and instructors can request a free copy for personal use. Rivet requires a Not-for-Resale (NFR) Agreement to be completed. Please contact our Academic Support team for a copy of the NFR.
