What does SBR means to us? SBR means to us standardization in the proces of financial reporting: • Business to government • Currently: Tax office, Chamber of Commerce and Central Bureau of Statistics • Expected: innovation-policy, government procurement, taxi-revenues, • Business to business • Currently: Credit reporting to banks • Future: insurance • Government to Government: • Expected: reporting of schools to the Ministry of Education In short:create an administrative infrastructure which allows for easier filing processes, to less costs, thus lowering the overall level of transaction costs 2 Standard Business Reporting ProgrammeA Netherlands government initiative
The basic process of SBR Essentially the basic process of SBR is Standardization of: • Data: • XBRL-Taxonomy • Processes: • Standardized analysis of all filing processes through which agencies request information from businesses, using BPMN as the standard • Technology end technics: • A standardized and generic transaction port for system2system communication • Intelligence to recognize messages and understand the processes of which they are part Standard Business Reporting Programme A Netherlands governement intitiative
SBR-NL History • From 2000 onwards: government priority to reduce administrative burden for business: • The “fuss” of complying to government regulations • 2002/03: recognition of potential of XBRL: • a means of reducing the cost of financial reporting to government • 2005/06/07: start of the NTP: Netherlands Taxonomy Project • Development of initial thinking with regard to Taxonomy • Development of design for a Generic Intelligent Infrastructure (Receiving messages for all partcipating government agencies) • 2008/09: development and implementation of major tools: • NL-Taxonomy 2010 • Intelligent transaction port (Digipoort) • 2009/10: move from development to implementation • Implementation plan + roadmap approved december 2009 Standard Business Reporting ProgrammeA Netherlands government initiative
SBR-NL Approach • Government and business in the 21 st century: a complex relationship: • The “business of government” is a complex thing • The “business of business” is a complex thing • The “business” of government and business interacting with each other is even more complex • Reducing this complexity requires standardization of filing processes and data: • Between business and government • Within government between various agencies • Within the business community • Creating Standards requires co-operation in a competitive market: • Good standards are merit goods that create value for all users • When users do not see the added value they will not comply • The SBR NL Program is a co-operation between Government and Business: Standard Business Reporting ProgrammeA Netherlands government initiative
SBR-NL Program Challenges • The SBR NL Program task is seeking co-operation: • in a competitive market • on issues that have deep impact for business- and government processes • are not understood by many • Frankly:…. We do not always find this easy • The challenges for SBR-NL Program: • Understanding and prioritizing the issues to be resolved for implementation • Finding the best solution to the various issues • Seeking the buy-in of organizations involved • Getting the market to actually start using XBRL Standard Business Reporting ProgrammeA Netherlands government initiative
SBR-NL in action • The SBR Platform: • Representatives of business community and government • Hands-on experience (“feet in the mud”) • Constantly generating issues that may block the uptake of SBR • The SBR Expertgroups: • Expertgroups for Data/Taxonomy, Processes, Marketing&Communication • Bringing together all available expertise in the Netherlands (and from outside, if needed) • Finding solution for the issues • The SBR Council: • High level representatives of business and government • Strategic decision making • The SBR Programteam (Within Logius): • Supporting the various groups with expertise • Pursueing the actions, stated in the Implementation plan • Seeking the policy-guidance from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture & Innovation Standard Business Reporting ProgrammeA Netherlands government initiative
Where are we now? • We are fully operational since start 2010: • The NL-Taxonomy 2010 was issued december 2009 and has been available since • The NL-Taxonomy 2011 was issued last Friday • The Intelligent Transaction Port (Digipoort) has been operational since end 2009 • We gradually upgrade our processes • Early 2010 we defined the current state of the information requesting processen as a level-0 • This allowed for instances to be sent in under close watch • We have upgraded to level -1, which allows for full automatic exchange of instances in high volumes • In 2011 we will reach level-2 in which we have all management, maintenance & support in places for these processes to continue to run smoothly • Roadmap: • We defined thresholds for numbers of messages in various flows (filing processes for tax, chamber of commerce, statistics) • We are lagging behind about three months for 4 out of 5 flows • For VAT-messages we will probably reach the stated threshold (20.000) Standard Business Reporting ProgrammeA Netherlands government initiative
What’s up for next year? • We will finish the implementation-phase of our program: • Receive the amount of instances stated in the roadmap (appr. 800.000) • Stabilizing our processes and procedures • Improving the taxonomy • Migrate the current SBR Organisation: • From a temporary program organisation into the Logius-organisation • Secure the long-term business case and budget • Gradually replace current temporary staff (consultants) for permanent (cheaper) staff • Broadening of scope: • Additional government agencies and their filing processes will be added • Current agencies wil increase the number of filing processes • At some point: the usage of XBRL will be mandatory for filing; we need to be able to support that.

What’s up for later? In the late 19th century the provision of electricity to homes and business was an issue; now we simply tap it from the wall-plug Now SBR is a difficult thing to master: in ten years time hardly anybody will notice that his software is XBRL-enabled; filing reports is a non-issue by then 10 Standard Business Reporting ProgrammeA Netherlands government initiative
