10. Original Plans Looked Deeper • From “Highlights” of Initial XFRML Steering Committee, 10/14/99 • “[XFRML] should have its roots in the "Audit Supply Chain." XFRML as technical standard for seamless process of exchange across all audit processes. • Our opportunity is to address things internationally at the level below the financial reporting level since there is more commonality at that level.” • This is still the place of XBRL’s Global Ledger Taxonomy Framework – the detailed information found in ERP systems.

11. Independent and Interoperable Vision • Application layer • Tests • New from old • Data
