The combination of more, more easily shared (and faster) financial transparency will take some getting used to and will arm investors 'on the go'. For the investor relations people (those whom Colin Farrington finds do not need to be involved in social media) this will be a bit of a shock. The online commentators will be there first and delivering their point of view to City folk using RSS. In the meantime, the Financial PR people will find they are constrained. XBRL has little to offer to add statements, notes and added briefing. because they did not support the now defunct PR mark up language (XPRL) they are properly shafted by the accountants, a professional profession by comparison. As a founder of XPRL, I am disappointedly and irritated by the lack of vision and the endless ostrich like appearance of PR when anything digital crops up. Perhaps there is a need for some PR leaders who do have the vision to understand the opportunity offered by the digital space; position the industry where it can engage and participate and who have the strength to make the institutions take responsibility for forward thinking.
