The idea: to enable businesses to prepare, exchange, and analyze financial statements and the information they contain.

The bedrock of innovation is imagination. For example, our modern day PDAs and feature-rich cell phones have Apple Computer and the ill-fated Newton to thank as the motivator for the functionality PDAs can pack into in a handheld device. Other IT innovations have been less visionary in revolutionizing the market or encouraging market acceptance. This leads me to discuss the XBRL initiative.
