Taking the complexity out of the SEC's XBRL Mandate. At the heart of XBRL since 2003.


RAASConsulting remains the source for information on Risk Management, Sustainability, XBRL and Innovation
Can you imagine of a better combination?



Who knew "blogging" could be so enjoyable, with crafting the messages, writing the articles, and getting the feedback.

What started as our "Random Commentary" page has grown.

So, we have "Officially" moved the Random Commentary articles to a new "Official" Blog. Summaries will continue to be added to this page, but you can follow us and read the full articles at:


Risk, Sustainability, XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language), Innovation - what do these have in common? Everything. Each provides a window on how to improve the quality and effectiveness of the business, preparing to make the future, not wait for the future to be defined.

CSR & Sustainability

There is no question that the shift is underway. Understanding the company's drivers for introduction of a CSR / Sustainability program will be important to ensuring that the program is structured to be responsive to those drivers. 

It should be noted that the regulatory framework is already in place in the United States that should require approximately 12,000 - 14,000 companies to provide CSR / Sustainability reporting. Read our in-depth discussion here.

XBRL; It’s new, or is it?

If you are a filer, visit raas-XBRL for information on taking the complexity ut compliance with the SEC's XBRL mandate.

When you need help implementing a new standard, who do you look for? New standards don’t suddenly appear; they go through years of consideration, planning, design and development. XBRL is such a standard. Yes it’s new to most of us. But there have been some who have been deeply involved from nearly the beginning.

As a concept, XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) was envisioned in 1999. A decade later the SEC in the United States has mandated the use of XBRL for the largest filers, extending to all filers over the next three years.  In the Netherlands the government has introduced an XBRL filing programme.  In the UK, HMRC has said that they will require companies to provide XBRL formatted reporting in 2011.

Risk Management: Our philosophy is simple...

Risk management is about bringing a perspective to the management of complicated issues in complex organisations. It is about the management (and not the avoidance) of risk. It helps to prioritise your work and that of others in a fast moving context with an approach that is better than simple intuition and which facilitates communication between people. It is a style of thought, and is definitely not a paper chase.

Innovation

Innovation is more than a state of mind, it is the demonstrate experience in taking concepts to market, creating new ideas, and in providing leadership in the communication of new ideas.

RAAS Consulting people have direct experience in the design and development of systems for Risk Management, Legislative Compliance, Business Analysis and Planning, and XBRL.
