"Our clients trust us to communicate their critical financial information. For more than 30 years, we've worked with public companies to ensure they not only meet full disclosure and satisfy regulatory requirements, but also reach audiences and stakeholders relevant to their business," said Marketwire Vice President, Partner Relations and Media Services Bernadette Lee. "XBRL services are a natural fit within our greater offering of compliance and investor relations communication solutions, from material news distribution, EDGAR filing, webcasting and posting of news and related information to our clients' websites."A type of interactive language for business data based on electronic tagging, XBRL is seen by many regulators, financial and accounting professionals, and investors around the world as a means to increase accessibility, comparability and usability of financial information. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC), "Interactive Data to Improve Financial Reporting," mandated public companies to provide XBRL-formatted financial statements over a three-year period beginning in 2009, and many domestic and foreign companies have already adopted XBRL reporting. All publicly reporting companies in US-GAAP or IFRS should report in this format starting June 2011.
