Training

Based on our thorough experience in project management, we have identified one key success factor in the proper achievement of a project. This is the employees’ comfort with the XBRL technology and the subsequent application to their day-to-day business activity.

On top of delivering user-friendly, business-oriented solutions, Acsone also provides a wide range of training courses that will be designed to match your business needs. Your staff will indeed, on the one hand, acquire knowledge about the XBRL technology to understand its background, and on the other hand, learn about how to make the most efficient use of it in their operations.

Training is delivered by our team of XBRL experts who gathered over the years extensive experience notably in meta-languages, structured content management, EU taxonomies, validation process, ESEF reporting and data quality management.

Our training courses go from an introduction to the XBRL technology customized to the audience (supervisors, auditors, accountants, etc.), to in-depth training on specific topics. Discover hereafter a few of our training offer.
