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.

    Where Will Technology Progress Take The Accounting Profession?
    Monday, 29 March 2021

    By Ricardo Rodil
    Ricardo Rodil leads the capital markets advisory services division at Crowe Macro (Brazil).

    Every time I try to understand or analyze a very complex event,  I usually try to reduce the problem to its essential elements – a sort of inverted zoom lens. I know that the devil is in the details, but I need to have some distance from them. So, I formulate extreme hypotheses, thinking about all the possible/plausible results (from 8 thru 8,000, as we say in Brazil). And, of capital importance, I know I need to keep my mind open to all possibilities. Today, I want to share with you where my latest thoughts have led me, about where and how technology is progressing and how that is transforming our lives.

    The Tele-Everything World
    Saturday, 20 March 2021

    In a non-random survey of some 915 innovators, developers, business and policy leaders, researchers and activists were asked by Pew Research to consider what life will be like in 2025 in the wake of the outbreak of the global pandemic. Overall they saw life being made worse for many people because of the spread of mis-information and authoritarianism and the fact people will become a lot more reliant on technology, which will serve to widen the economic divide.
