Quality Assurance Campaign from Rivet Software Looks to Elevate Financial Reporting

Program Launches With Webinar Addressing The ‘End Of Limited Liability’

Denver, CO, November 20, 2012 – Rivet Software, the premier provider of standards-based business reporting and analytics software, today announced the firm is launching a Quality Assurance Campaign designed to help financial reporting professionals prepare for important changes in the regulatory landscape.

With the last wave of limited liability expiring within a few months, the Rivet campaign is intended to provide SEC reporting professionals fresh insight into the most common errors found in SEC filings and offer guidance on communicating with their investors and submitting correct filings to the Commission.

As a part of the campaign, the firm will be offering a webinar later this month titled ‘The End of Limited Liability – Are you ready?’ The free webinar, which will be hosted by Phil Mennona, Rivet’s XBRL Compliance Manager, will feature special guest Campbell Pryde, CEO of XBRL US. The program will speak to the three things reporting professionals need to know to ensure the quality of their XBRL data.

According to Rivet, since the XBRL mandate went in effect 3 years ago, the external financial reporting industry has seen close to 9,000 public companies file over 50,000 XBRL submissions. Mike Rohan, Rivet’s CEO and Co-founder, says a review of those filings uncovered over 760,000 data quality issues that will result in inaccuracies.

“With the last wave of limited liability expiring in just nine months, financial reporting professionals owe it to themselves, their shareholders, and their management to perform thorough, repeatable data quality checks on their XBRL financials every time,” says Mr. Rohan. “The stakes will doubtlessly raise.”

The ‘End of Limited Liability – Are you ready?’ webinar is scheduled for November 28th, from 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM ET. For more information, or to register for the webinar, reporting professionals are encouraged to visit www.rivetsoftware.com/the-end-of-limited-liability-are-you-ready.com.

Food, Pharma, Medical Device Manufacturers to Meet for First Trade Fairs on Testing

Human Life Science Test (HuLST) Expo is inaugurating three trade fairs under one roof in Cologne, Germany, from February 8-10 – Medical Device & Technology Test Expo, Pharma Test Expo and Food & Beverage Test Expo.

Dorking, Surrey, January 20, 2011 — Only safe products are profitable and only testing can ensure product safety. With this in mind, HuLST Expo is launching the first-ever trade fairs dedicated to testing solutions for manufacturers of pharmaceuticals, medical devices and food and beverages.

Manufacturers, testing and quality assurance scientists and professionals will be meeting in Cologne, Germany, from February 8-10, to view the latest tools and processes the testing industry offers to ensure that products are safe at each stage of their development.

“HuLST Expo ( http://www.hulst-expo.com ) comes after two years of extensive work and follows the realisation that the ‘testing cat’ is permanently out of the bag as far as the manufacturer is concerned,” says David Stradling, HuLST Marketing Director. “We say this because industrialists no longer use their test programmes just for the sake of safe market passage but also as means of reassuring customers and end users of their commitment to product safety, quality and integrity. Today’s consumer has a greater sense of product testing than ever before, which gives manufacturers a psychological edge as it lends confidence and credibility to the end product.”

Visitors to HuLST Expo can address their testing requirements, no matter which sector they work in. A few examples follow:

* Medical Device & Technology Test Expo will showcase diverse testing products and services, including materials durability testing instruments from BOSE GmbH, stent measurement devices from Heinz Schade, and the pre-clinical implant and materials testing from SpineServ GmbH.

* Pharma Test Expo will offer the analytical instrumentation and solutions for physical and chemical characterization of pharmaceutical solids from PANalytical GmbH, and the texture, powder and flow analysers from Stable MicroSystems GmbH, to name only two exhibitors.

* At Food & Beverage Test Expo, food safety and quality assurance professionals can find systems for odor, taste and visualization profiling from AlphaMOS, rapid testing methods for Salmonella from DSM Nutritional Products, and mass spectrometry instrumentation for the alcoholic beverages sector from Bruker Daltronic.

In addition to the exhibits, visitors can attend forums, workshops and keynote addresses examining the testing industry’s current issues and solutions. These presentations will run throughout the three days and their open format invites attendees to participate in the subjects that are most relevant to them. To view the current schedule of presentations, please view our web site at: http://www.hulst-expo.com.

Life science manufacturers interested in exhibiting at any of the three fairs should contact: Thomas Standley on + 44 1 306 803031, t.standley@hulst-expo.com.

Visitors can avoid the queues and pre-register for a FREE, three-day pass to both dedicated exhibition and speakers areas up until February 7. Entry on the day is Euro 35.

HuLST Expo 2011 is being staged for the first time to deliver a unique environment in which test and evaluation specialists from all three of the sectors covered by its umbrella events can meet and get to grips with testing and QA problems and solutions, and learn from the extensive programme of speaker forums and presentations.
