If you are interested in reducing the cost of compliance for businesses that must send business or financial information to the government and regulators, then you should attend.</div><br /><div class="main">Who should attend? </div><div class="main"><ul><li> Members of the civil service, whose departments are involved in collecting financial and other business information from business</li><li>Members of the government, shadow cabinets, and their staff, whose departments are involved in collecting financial and other business information from business</li><li>Organizations which lobby for the reduction of red tape (the cost of compliance)</li><li>Those responsible for the proposed Red Tape Reduction Commission and the Advisory Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship. </li><li>Representatives (accountants, controllers, consultants, etc) of businesses which spend a significant amount of time and money reporting to government and regulators</li><li>Members of think tanks that present white papers or articles on the cost of compliance </li><li>Software developers which develop compliance or business reporting software</li><li>The business press</li></ul></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="main"><br />Find out how an SBR project can significantly reduce red tape and the cost of compliance. SBR is not the only answer, but it is a major step forward. It is important to understand how and why and then get all decision-makers on board.<br /></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="main">Although the primary short-term goal is to reduce the cost of compliance, the FFIEC/FDIC call-report project shows that the use of XBRL alone (even without the other elements of SBR) has led to major savings of time and money to the agency, to the banks who report to them, and to the call report software developers. More significant benefits will derive from SBR when government departments and regulators collaborate and work together.<br /></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="main"><b>To Register for the Free Webinar - June 7, 2010 at 4:00 PM ET, <a href="http://xbrl.ca/webinar-sbr.html" target="register"> click here</a></b><br /><b>&nbsp;</b> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5113534004496971797-8726435706884560924?l=xbiblog.xbisoftware.com' alt='' /></div>georgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10581685613568686121noreply@blogger.com0
