New: Canadian Roadmap for the Implementation of XBRL

The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants and XBRL Canada announce the publication of its complete publication in English and French entitled “XBRL Roadmap”, on implementing XBRL for electronic filing of information with the Government of Canada.

This comprehensive new study details how XBRL can be implemented specifically in Canada for government filings in a form often referred to as Standardized Business Reporting (SBR). Such implementation could save filers and the government many millions of dollars. Consequently, it is of interest to companies that must file information with the Canadian Government, such as Statscan forms, income tax returns, forms with regulators and information returns with various departments and agencies.

The study will be featured at the forthcoming annual conference or XBRL Canada in Ottawa on October 17 and 18 and copies will be available onsite. The Roadmap is available in electronic form at www.xbrl.ca.
