Interstage XWand

A result of early leadership and innovation, Interstage XWand is software that helps companies create, test, report, collect, and analyze financial data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL), a standard format that aids the disclosure of financial information quickly and accurately. Interstage XWand facilitates the integration of XBRL within financial processes thereby boosting the level of automation and transparency throughout the entire financial reporting cycle and supporting compliance goals.

The Promise of XBRL

XBRL is a language for the electronic communication of business and financial data. It is administered by XBRL International, a not-for-profit global initiative of approximately 550 major companies, organizations and government agencies. XBRL is an open standard, free of license fees. The advantage of leveraging the internet for financial reporting is that it provides a faster, less expensive, and better alternative to the otherwise inefficient, error-prone and lengthy process of business reporting. XBRL is based on XML (eXtensible Markup Language). It is well-positioned to become the standard for communicating financial information between businesses, as well as organizations like regulatory bodies, banks, investors, and financial analysts.

and dissemination of XBRL reports. Interstage XWand consists of an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that allows users to quickly create, analyze, and use XBRL reports. Interstage XWand also provides a set of flexible Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that lets organizations make XBRL an integral part of their reporting process at the application level.

Integrated Development Environment

The IDE provides intuitive tools for quick and effective use of XBRL. The Taxonomy Editor and Instance Creator tools let users effectively create, edit, extend, validate, and consume XBRL documents. It supports views based on the various linkbases. The search-and-filter capabilities of these tools make navigation through complex XBRL documents effortless. Interstage XWand also helps compare, transform, and process XBRL documents. Users can edit dimensional taxonomies and instance documents as well as automate the definition of dimensional data frames. Interstage XWand supports Formula 1.0 and other new extensions to the XBRL specification. It also supports industry established best practices for reporting like Financial Reporting Taxonomies Architecture (FRTA) and Financial Reporting Instance Standards (FRIS).

Instance Creator

Application Programming Interface

Interstage XWand provides a simple and flexible API that allows companies to add XBRL awareness to their new and existing applications. Interstage XWand provides support for two of the largest development environments, Java and .Net. The Java API is supported on Windows and Solaris platforms; the .Net API is supported on the Windows platform.

Key Benefits
Eliminates Paper-based, Error-prone Reporting Processes
At present, paper is still the predominant means used in exchanging financial data between corporations, banks, investors, analysts and supervisory authorities. Reports are created by extracting data from an IT-based system and formatting it into a proprietary report before it is printed and sent to interested parties. Typically, the recipient of the report then re-enters the data into another system, reformats, and then sends more copies to other interested people and organizations. Interstage XWand provides the means for IT-based solutions to automatically extract financial data and present it in a standard format that can then be used by other systems. By eliminating paper-based reports and the time spent on typing in information multiple times, error-free reports can be produced much more efficiently. Through the support for Formula 1.0, the business rulerelated extension of the XBRL specification, Interstage XWand lets users set alerts to discrepancies in reports. This helps organizations quickly make the necessary corrections prior to submission, thereby reducing the potential of errors in the reporting process.

Interstage XWand

eliminates one of the major barriers to XBRL adoption. A data mapping function automatically converts XBRL data into CSV format which makes it easy to redistribute financial data and reduces the time and cost of handling data. has gained valuable insight into the kinds of functions that enhance user productivity with regards to working with XBRL documents. For example, Interstage XWand provides a rich array of practical functions, such as those that support the following: Editing of taxonomies and instances simultaneously Entering financial facts using XBRL Dimensions Enhanced validation with support for Formula 1.0 Configurable HTML reports Cross-checking the differences between two taxonomies Extraction of XBRL data from Excel documents

Improves Financial Reporting Processes

Inadequate checks during the process of creating financial reports and the lack of standardization has contributed to inaccurate and fraudulent reporting. The increase in corporate fraud has resulted in a heightened demand by regulatory bodies for transparency in corporate financial reporting. Achieving compliance will only be possible if enterprises standardize reporting and adopt IT-based solutions. Interstage XWand allows for automatic and reliable extraction and exchange of financial data, while ensuring that the necessary checks are in place to demonstrate compliance with mandates.

Aids Verification, Analysis, Reformatting, and Redistribution of Financial Data

Enterprises, financial institutions and regulatory bodies struggle with verifying the accuracy of financial reports and identifying patterns and trends. These organizations spend a significant amount of time to convert reports into proprietary formats that can then be compared, for detailed analysis. Interstage XWand provides the tools to easily convert data in Microsoft Excel spreadsheets into XBRL documents. It creates XBRL instance documents by merging XBRL taxonomies with financial data, converted from other formats. This helps with creating reports that can be easily compared to detect patterns and trends. Users without prior knowledge of XBRL can leverage Microsoft Excel to create XBRL documents as well. This

Supports Rapid Development of XBRL-enabled Applications

Interstage XWand provides a framework for incorporating XBRL into applications that can analyze, collect, and disclose financial information in the shortest period of time. By providing support for all aspects of the XBRL specification including the newest extensions such as Formula 1.0, application developers can rest assured that they are leveraging cutting-edge XBRL capabilities. For instance, the data mapping functions reduce the cost, time, and effort involved in developing validation and analysis applications.
