CLOSUP, The Bond Buyer: "Flint is also at the forefront of the development of XBRL for financial reporting. Flint participated in a pilot project with the University of Michigan's Center for Local, State, and Urban Policy at the school's Ford School of Public Policy, in partnership with XBRL US. The state is exploring the feasibility of moving toward the use of machine-readable financial documents by local governments on XBRL—extensible business reporting language—instead of their current PDF format."
