A Vision for the Future of Corporate Reporting (Part 1):Comments due February 5

on 27 October 2020

The UK Financial Reporting Council (FRC*) has published a thought-leadership piece, A matter of principles: The Future of Corporate Reporting (1). The 36-page discussion paper, with comments requested by February 5, 2021, “explores ideas for changes to the system of corporate reporting with a view to making it more effective and engaging for all those with an interest in a company.”

I encourage all who are part of one of my networks to give a read and provide feedback. It touches on many of the topics we have touched upon, including materiality beyond the traditional financial statement, a holistic view of reporting including Sustainability, XBRL and much more.

I hope to use the blog to socialize some of my own thoughts in developing comments in response to the FRC’s request. As we in the XBRL world look back 20 years to our vision on where XBRL would take us, it is interesting to see how reality compares, both favorably and with some disappointments, to our ideas of the time.

* The FRC regulates auditors, accountants and actuaries, and we set the UK’s Corporate Governance and Stewardship Codes in order to promote transparency and integrity in business.

    Data Hoarding is Holding up AI Development
    Wednesday, 03 March 2021

    One of the more interesting applications of AI being developed is that of detecting human emotions. This is a remarkable idea, since computers being just a machine, they are totally lacking in emotion. So how can they detect emotion?

    Survey on Mental Health Issues
    Tuesday, 02 March 2021

    The Healthy Professional Worker Partnership, an interdisciplinary, multi-university research team led by the University of Ottawa, is exploring factors that contribute to knowledge workers taking leaves from work for mental health issues (their own or a family member’s) and to explore tools that support their successful return to work. This study includes: academia, accounting, dentistry, medicine, midwifery nursing and teaching professions. The team is particularly interested in the role that gender has on these experiences. There will also be some questions about how COVID-19 has impacted these experiences. 

    If you are interested in taking part in this study, please follow this link to the online survey: https://bit.ly/3nk2gBf. The survey will take about 15-20 minutes to complete. 

    If you would prefer to participate in an interview, please contact the study project coordinator, Audrey Kruisselbrink, at HPW@uottawa.ca. The interview will take 40-60 minutes for which there will be a $20 honorarium.
