Bowne & Co

XBRL Canada has several members with world class skills and experience with XBRL regulatory filings. Bowne & Co is one of those members.

This article represents the first in a series featuring individual XBRL members. The intent is to provide some idea of the kind of help that is available for companies that are faced with the prospect of needing to file in XBRL this year or over the next few years.

Bowne & Co got into the XBRL world early and was the first to file with the SEC Voluntary program when it started. They offer XBRL filing and consulting services and their website contains a useful introduction to XBRL as well as a repository of a number of useful tools. For example, the site contains a free Interactive XBRL Viewer, which will enable companies to upload their filings and then view them as they will appear on the SEC site. Their Compliance Driver is an automated external reporting solution that simplifies the creation of compliance documents, integrates XBRL tagging and IFRS conversion into the process and reduces the risks that often occur with external reporting.

A corporate blog, managed by renowned XBRL expert Rob Blake, sets out some of the latest events on XBRL including notice of the many webinars held by Bowne.

Keep an eye out for future articles on XBRL Canada members.
