IBM Cognos Disclosure Management

CDM (Cognos Disclosure Management) is a unique solution that supports the difficult “last mile” of report production. It automates the process of creating internal and external financial reports, as well as enabling to you to meet the iXBRL mandates from HMRC and Companies House.

Report production is far faster and easier with Cognos Disclosure Management. It allows many contributors to participate in the creation of external documents  and eliminates the time wasted in cross checking the reports manually. Draft annual reports, draft accounts, preliminary results announcements and RNS submissions can all be linked together in the knowledge that the content will be consistent.

Product Highlights

What is iXBRL?

As of 1st April 2011 it will be mandatory for companies to file their accounts and tax returns electronically using XBRL. This is a web based language written specifically for business reporting, and works by tagging data rather than by processing the information as text. It can be then processed intelligently for review and analysis. Inline XRBL (iXBRL) enables fragments of your report to be read both manually and electronically.

XRBL is becoming a requirement for financial reporting all over the world. Cognos Disclosure Management includes powerful in-built XRBL functionality. It can easily tag financial data and commentary and have it automatically flow to future reports.
