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 & SustainabilityThere 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

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.

http://raasconsulting.blogspot.com/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.
InnovationInnovation 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.
