Seamless Integration to Source Data
- CLARITY FSR provides an easy-to-use method to pull data from a wide variety of data sources including: the leading ERP systems, the leading financial consolidation applications, relational databases, and OLAP databases. Every number in the final report links directly back to a single data source ensuring that there are no conflicting numbers anywhere in the report.
- Changes to the source numbers automatically cascade through the report. For example, journals posted in the source system(s) automatically flow into the XBRL document.
- This ensures there is only "one version of the truth".
Tag Once Technology
- Tag the data with XBRL tags just once with CLARITY FSR and future reporting periods automatically pick up the same tags. There is no need to re-tag the document as data changes within the same reporting period because the updated data automatically flows into the XBRL document. And, there is no need to re-tag the document for future reporting periods, because the tags are automatically retained for future reporting periods.
Web-based Data Collection Flowing Directly into XBRL
- Web-based data collection provides the ability to collect statistical and operational data – with this information automatically flowing into the XBRL document.
Business Rules
- Clarity Business Rules automatically ensure that all data in your documents tie out. Users can create any number of business rules to verify that summary numbers tie out to the detailed notes or to ensure that data is consistently presented across the document.
Variables in Text
- CLARITY FSR lets you place variables in text – to ensure that data in your financial statements tie out to the values that are embedded within paragraphs of text. If the data in your financial statements changes, then the values in your paragraphs of text also change – automatically.
Tag Text and Data
- CLARITY FSR users can easily tag financial data and commentary once and have it automatically flow to future reports.
