Our new video explaining the benefits of XBR is now released and can be viewed on our website at www.xbrl.ca under the menu item “SBR” Take a look! The video was produced with the assistance of CPA Canada.   Section 3 Data Act The Data Act has passed in the US in 2014 and in May, 2015, released implementation guidance. The Data Act directs the federal government to standardize and publish its wide variety of reports and data compilations related to spending: financial management, payments, budget actions, procurement, and assistance. The overall data standardization effort consists of two parallel, yet related efforts: ·      Setting data standards that improve the quality of federal spending data; and, ·      Creating a standard data exchange (the way data is submitted) to codify this data in standard computer readable formats. There is mention in the guidance of XBRL as a data format to be used. Over the longer term, the Data Act will have a major impact on the way data is collected and used in the US and elsewhere.
