Introduction

After working

in public accounting

at Showker & Associates

,

LLP

for a number of years,

you

decided to switch jobs and focus on your passion:

the security side of the

accounting

industry.

As

an alumnus, you took advantage of multiple virtual job fairs offered by UMGC. Fortunately, you

were hired within a few months of deciding to change positions. Your new employer

CyberAccounting.com has clients worldwide, which will also provide you wit

h travel opportunities.

Overall, you’re feeling very lucky to have been hired by CyberAccounting.com and feeling more

confident having just completed an XBRL training seminar. While sitting in your corner office with

a view of the Washington Monument, you

eagerly wait for your first assignment.

Just as your mind was drifting off thinking about an AIS installation on an exotic island in the

Caribbean Sea,

George,

the

new supervisor enters your office. George, a well

–

respected AIS

analyst explains that Cyb

erAccounting.com has just begun offering XBRL tagging and filing

services. Further, George shares that one of the firm’s biggest clients, Chez Sheree Couturier,

Inc

.

,

is now required to file XBRL data interactive financials with the SEC. Mariah Sascha, C

EO

of Chez Sheree Couturier, Inc., is unfamiliar with XBRL and has been asking George to help him

understand what it is and why the SEC is requiring it.

Just before leaving your office, George turned around and said he wants you to take the lead on

the

XBRL project and meet with Mariah to answer all of her questions. Your first thought: where is

Chez Sheree Couturier, Inc. located? After a quick Internet search, you learn that Chez Sheree

Couturier, Inc is located in Marco Island, FL. Not exactly an exo

tic island in the Caribbean, but

definitely warmer than Washington, DC in the winter. You’re super psyched to get started and

prove to George that you are the right employee for remote AIS projects. First step? Book a

flight!
