Standard Business Reporting (SBR)refers to the use of XBRL and other open reporting and data management standards for use by numerous ernment departments and agencies in a untry.It does not necessarily need to enmpass all departments,but generally it is interpreted to include a critical mass of such within a given untry.

It is usually adopted to streamline the reporting requirements of ernments so as to lighten the burden on the public who must file the reports and to streamline the data management capabilities of the ernments and help them to beme more efficient.These policy goals are mmon to many ernments and,importantly forCanadians,to the ernment of Canada,which has publically announced their mmitment to rcing red tape and the mpliance burden to the public as well as enuraging greater efficiency in ernment activities.

It was for these reasons that CPA Canada and CGA Canada jointly remmended XBRL in their pre-budget nsultations with the Finance Minister earlier this year.At the same time,some of the departments in the ernment of Canada,along with XBRL Canada,are beginning a study to examine the feasibility of llecting and sharing selected information in XBRL format between departments.

There is a high degree of understanding of XBRL within the civil service in Canadian ernment as there is of other data management tools and techniques.It’s a pretty safe bet that at some point new electronic data standards will be adopted by a number of departments.

XBRL Canada hopes that the selected standard is XBRL because there is so much to be gained by the adoption of the same standard across the ernment and because XBRL is widely adopted around the world and therefore makes sharing and mparability of data much more feasible.It also adds to the benefits of sharing data management experiences with other ernments.
