AGA
Research Report: XBRL and Public Sector Financial Reporting
—
AGA has long
 supported
the use of XBRL to potentially improve the transparency and
analysis in government financial reporting. Accordingly, AGA
decided to implement a research project to study the benefits of
developing and using an XBRL-taxonomy to tag data in a state’s
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report, or CAFR. It was decided
that the project should focus on one state pilot, with the
intent that the results would prove to be
helpful to other states contemplating a similar effort.
