Marketing & branding: Is the name right?
When I first raised the idea of iXV last year on AccountingWEB, there was a muted response from members. From the material presented so far, have we formulated the proposition in a way that makes sense to you?
There is still some simmering resentment about everything to do with iXBRL, so one of our objectives with this project will be to get accountants to see that they can use the electronic tagging system to their advantage too. What do you think are the most compelling benefits that the system could deliver, and how would you suggest we communicate them to accountants and iXV partners?
Finally - and this is a somewhat touchy subject - have we got the name right? What do you think of iXV as a brand, or do we need to attach something more to explain what the service actually does? Can you think of any other names that would really reach out and grab people's attention?
A little bit of background to iXV
iXV is a joint partnership with CoreFiling - the inventors of iXBRL, and the designers of HMRC's own iXBRL taxonomies. So, iXV runs on exactly the same technology that HMRC uses to check everyone's iXBRL company accounts.
The project name iXV was chosen to stand for 'iXBRL validator' - however, it quickly became clear that validation (JFCVC) was just a tiny part of a much bigger, more useful picture of what iXBRL can do.
In addition to checking iXBRL accounts for well-formed tagging, and for compliance with HMRC / Companies House joint filing, iXV acts as an extra pair of (very quick) eyes to check through company accounts. It speeds up what is usually a very manual process - it could literally save you days over the course of a year.
We've kept our initial ruleset small, but it offers a real taste of the range of checks, calculations and KPIs that iXV can facilitate above and beyond checking for online filing compliance.
As John mentions, the name iXV may or may not be right for the service - please do give us your thoughts and suggestions!
And if you want to get involved in testing iXV, have a quick read of this post here...
Cheers for now,
Darren Falkingham

It all sounds
Hideously complex to me. I still don't understand what ixbrl really is, which I do not like. Thankfully, I press a button and my accounts are converted into ixbrl - but without spending hours, I would prefer to understand it better. The name is a turnoff to be honest. Can't it give some indication of what it is or does in the name rather than just being a string of incomprehensible letters?
Interesting persctive - thanks
Thanks for your comment, taxhound. It's a good reminder to those of us who have been grappling with this stuff for a while that we still need to do a of background work to get across the concepts of both iXBRL and our automated reviewing system.
A good accounts production system will apply iXBRL tags to all of the required data elements within your accounts (although to be absolutely honest at the moment, HMRC is only insiting that 15 specific bits are included , but that will change). Some programs may have GAAP and other tests built in, such as ensuring your reporting period ends after it begins, and that your company number is correctly formatted. But some may not.
The premise of our checking is not that your AP and tagging software is wrong, but that there may be elements within the accounts that will fail HMRC's checks, or values that put the figures outside norms that HMRC will consider as acceptable. So our service will attempt to be the extra pair of eyes that looks over accounts before you send them in - and we plan to base the checks around the things that an accountant would typically check for before they submit an accounts file to HMRC.
Your comment on the name is also interesting and if others come up with similar views, we may also start looking to AccountingWEB members to help us refine it.
Hi taxhound, and thank you for sharing your thoughts.
As John says this raises some important points about iXBRL, what it does, and what we at AccountingWEB are trying to build.
iXBRL is a way of describing the 'facts' in a set of accounts to a computer - HMRC's computer, let's say. ('Facts' could be numbers, percentages, dates, names, accounting policies, etc)
Because iXBRL does this, we can take those 'facts' and compare them, add them up, calculate differences, check them against certain limits... even just make sure that they are there when they should be.
This is what iXV (or whatever we call it!) does - it's a service that can automatically read a set of iXBRL accounts, and check them against a range of criteria.
The next step is to decide what we check. There will be hundreds of 'facts' in a set of accounts, and millions of possible ways in which to check, compare and calculate those facts.
(One of the things the service will always check is compliance with HMRC and Companies House joint filing rules - and we're using exactly the same technology as them too)
This is where we think we can all work together - to develop and refine a service that quickly checks a set of accounts, saving you time, and giving you and your clients reassurance that the accounts are all present and correct before submitting them online to HMRC.
This now feels like a very long post - I hope I haven't confused the matter...!
Kind regards,

Would you be happy if Port Taranaki were to claim Ngamotu Beach for any future expansion?
Relevant offers
It seems ironic that while the Auckland Council seeks to reclaim the city's waterfront for public use, New Plymouth appears to be heading in the opposite direction.
OPINION: There was no need for Port Taranaki to locate the outsized palm-kernel storage sheds on waterfront reclamation at Ngamotu.
While the marina proposal will be popular with recreational fishermen and boaties, there is little doubt that this project will further impact on Ngamotu Beach.
The port authorities are campaigning to have Belt Rd extended to the Lee Breakwater, at ratepayers' expense.
This would give the port the opportunity to close the seaward end of Bayly Rd for public use, shutting off Ngamotu Beach.
Mr Weaver's claim that ''We want to maintain Ngamotu for as long as possible'' means little.
The port company needs to be reminded that it is owned by the Taranaki Regional Council, and indirectly, by the ratepayers.
Please keep our beach.

The Milky Way above a ghostly sea of cloud: The amazing shots taken by an amateur photographer who trekked to the top of a mountain to get his shot
The Milky Way appears above a sea of clouds in this ghostly shot.
Photographer Roberto Bertero trekked to a remote mountain top to capture the stunning image.
He stayed overnight, watching in awe as the sky changed above the Italian Alps.
The Milky Way appears above a sea of clouds in this incredible shot taken above the Italian Alps
Mr Bertero, 43, said: 'This was definitely one of my favourite night shoots, simply because I encountered several natural spectacles.
'You could see the Milky Way cutting across the night sky, perfectly aligned with the distant pyramidal summit of Mount Monviso.
'This occurs at the beginning of every summer night, then gradually the earth moves eastward, and the starry sky to the west.
'However, this night was particularly wonderful because of what looked like an infinite bank of clouds, approximately 800 metres below me.
'The lights from the valley below meant that this mass in motion looked like a sort of 'primordial ocean'.'
The photographs were taken at the summit of Mount Rocciamelone, in the Piemonte region, Italy - which is around 3,538 metres high.
Mr Bertero, from Rivoli, in Turin provine, added: 'As usual in night photography, the camera was able to capture far more details than I could see with my eyes.
'Even so, this has been one of the most spectacular scenery I have ever seen.
'The infinite is my favorite subject and since I can't go into deep space I am constantly searching for ways to feel close to it from here on earth.'
The amazing images were taken at Crins National Park in France
Mr Bertero, a professional musician, took up photography around five years ago and visits rare spots in an effort to create unique images.
He said: 'Landscape photography is so often taken from the plain towards a higher subject, which is why I choose to be a bit different.
'Pictures come from a desire, develop into an idea and become a reality through planning.
'I study the night sky on special maps for shooting stars and also need.
'Mountain photography takes a lot of physical effort and you need to make sure you have suitable mountain-survival equipment too.'
He sees night photography as a fresh way of looking at the world.
Mr Bertero said: 'Our eyes erroneously communicate to our brain that there is 'no more light'.
'But actually there is always light, even when we just see only darkness.
'This is one of the first things you learn by practicing night photography seriously.'

Ask Asda mobile but dont expect the answer you want or to actualy get through to their customer service or be able to use the data or calls. Very limited usage i'm afraid. As a previous comment says "Cheap but not cherfull"!!!!!!!!!! Take your custom elsewhere , you deserve better.

After 30 days if the PAC code has not been transferred to Asda mobile you will need to call back id mobile & ask for another PAC code,once you have a new PAC code choose another network as clearly Asda mobile is not bothered!

This network is useless. The coverage is very limited. At our home address all I get is the No Service notification have contacted Asda Mobile & EE their stock answer is its down to upgrades and repair. It's been like that for 5 years.
Surprised no one has taken this networks poor performance up with Offcom. Asda are stealing money with their claims on coverage. Stay clear if you can.

Got this sim a few months ago and noticed that I had no signal when in Asda stores, there are other places I cant get signal too.
Only good thing about the network is the price of calls, texts and bundles. I would not recommend this network unless you only want it for the deals and can live with limited signal.

She was ever helpful, gave me more of her time than she should have, set everything up for me, helped me to figure out the bundles and network and was just all around wonderful. Id go back to them any day and the network has no coverage issues for me and theyre cheap as chips. 5 stars from me for ASDA Mobile and the shop and staff.

PLEASE JUST STAY AWAY!sounds cheap but it comes with a price.
1. You can't trust the customer services, 99% of what they tell you is just lies. They are just there to make a fool out of you.
2.The service is that bad,I was told my number is gone missing after making a transaction from an Asda sim to another Asda sim and the funny part is, I was told THEY CAN'T DO NOTHING. Seriously? One of them even had the gut to tell me to call my former service to ask them because they had the original number. Which is not possible cause I have stipulated a new contract with Asda and they have a new pac code for the number,making them responsible .
3.Text messages,incoming calls don't' get through often.I learnt some other peeps have already complained about that too. So just stay away.
4.These people are just liars. JUST STAY AWAY. one person tells you a liar and another tops it up.Bullshits. Everyone of them have a different lie to tell. Was told by them oh will are call you to notify you of any changes which has never happened. When you have an issue,they don't really care. Just STAY AWAY! Some has even pretended to be the technician,another time I call, I'm told it's not possible to speak to the technicians. just lies to keep you on the phone and ramble. They won't even take not of the issue.I spoke to 4 different people and the 5th one told me there's not record of whatever I am saying. But the previous ones told me they have notified the issue.
5.One of the worst customer service out there.I mean the worst!!Arguing for nothing and getting angry for no reason. If there's someone to get angry it's the client paying for something which they are not receiving. They are not just professional.
The list is infinity and just stinky. JUST STAY AWAY,I wouldn't advice anyone to make a transaction to ASDA!

I switched to Asda from Tesco a few years ago for a cheaper deal, which was with the same network, Vodafone. Service was pretty good. Last year's switch to EE was poorly managed and caused a bit of hassle for a couple of weeks. However, now that's history and the service is superb in my experience. My phone is never without reception, whereas with Vodafone there would be dead areas, especially indoors. I'm on the south coast - maybe it's different in other parts of the UK.

Waste of even one star. Lost my cherished mobile number as was not told that after 90 days of no OUTGOING calls, the SIM gets suspended. Asda telephone support had no clue about this EE catch and wasted time trying to to recover it. By the time EE got involved, the number was out of my hands. Furthermore, both Asda and EE had not 'reference' on their system to the cherished number - just a SIM number but nothing they claimed connected it to the number itself (which was previously ported across from Orange). I had had this fab number with Orange for over 10 years - but lost it with Asda Mobile in 90 days. Customer Service is absolutely shambolic. This truly is a bad set up and I would never recommend them, purely on the basis that both Asda and EE is an incompetent and amateur partnership trying to compete with their more experienced competition.

Two BIG annoyances with the current system, since ASDA switched to EE. Before that everything was hunky-dory with Vodafone.
(1) Voicemail switches itself on whenever I go abroad, in my case to Europe. They finally admitted it was not just me getting the error, so they know about the problem, but as with other issues, they've done nothing about it.
(2) You cannot text 5-digit numbers (8xxxx) used by many services e.g. BBC radio, or, yes, as noted below, donation centres. Again, they know about it but have done nothing about it.
So, like many others I and my husband will be moving to another provider once the credit has run out. These people are pathetic. If I could give 0 or negative stars, I would.

I bought a Huawei Y330 phone from ASDA in September, and use an ASDA PAYG SIM.
Data coverage seemed a bit erratic for a while (I live in a rural area in Wiltshire) but from the middle of February until yesterday (six weeks)I had no internet connection. I tried taking the SIM out, switching to another ASDA SIM that I had spare, resetting the factory settings, a hard reset, downloading the internet settings from EE, speaking to the ASDA support team and visiting an EE shop.
It didn't matter whether I was in the countryside where I live, in a nearby town or in my closest city, I could only access the internet using wifi.
Yesterday the internet signal magically reappeared, long after I'd given up trying to correct the problem myself and after I'd assumed I must have a hardware problem.
I'll use my remaining credit and switch to a different service supplier. The last six weeks says all I need to know about ASDA Mobile.

I contacted their technical services to try and get them reinstated without any success and was told I would need new sims and new top up vouchers. I feel I have been to say the least badly short changed and think the standard of service appalling. I intend to complain to both trading standards and to OFCOM about their appalling service.

Adsda mobile is absolutely useless. When they were with Vodafone they was a good network. I stayed with them and went to ee what a nightmare my mobile keeps saying restricted service so sometimes I am unable to ring anyone. Also I am unable to send photos and use the network. When my money runs out I will be joining another network. Also the asda help line are run by a bunch of morons who do not answer your emails.

Asda was okay until they switched to EE. Now my account tells me I have £9 left on my credit but I can't phone or text anyone because its telling me its an incorrect number but I've been texting and dialing them for years. I try calling the Asda 2732 and I get a series of electronic beeps and the call ends. I've tried emailing Asda to help me with the problem...no reply. Now I just want my PAC code to go elsewhere but getting it is another thing. I ring the number on their sites and it says the number is no longer in use. I need to transport my number because its on my business cards. All up...the service is disgusting. I'd rather poke sticks in my eye than give them any more money. They're pathetic!!!! And the coverage is rubbish!!!

The worst network going! Which is understandable with EE running it. My mum transferred to the new Asda Mobile in April, and it has been terrible. The signal is much worse, the SIM card had voicemail activated which my mum didn't even want in the first place (and no obvious way to switch it off, which resulted in a call to customer services) the 3G is unusable because of the bad signal, and the fact that the automatic parental controls block nearly every website (this means another call to customer services AGAIN!!!) and also she has gone through 3 new top-up cards, because when it came to topping them up they were declined, even after I linked them to her phone for her. She never had any of this trouble when Asda were with Vodafone, back then it was a brilliant network. In my opinion they should have never teamed up with EE in the first place, it was obviously going to be a spell for disaster!!

I returned to the UK end of September and had my replacement SIM card waiting for me. Good I thought so I put £20 credit on it as I don't have a landline at the moment. This didn't last long so I tried to buy a £20 bundle using the automated service. This failed so I rang 2732 to be told my bank had declined the payment. This was untrue as when I checked with my bank they confirmed all was ok. When I rang 2732 back I wad told I couldn't add a budge as I had already put £20 on the account in a one month . eventually I was able to add a £10 bundle. What I didn't realise was that you can't use a bundle to ring premium rate numbers or even to ring ASDA on 2732. Catch 22. For me. No credit, automated system won't let me top up because I tried automated system & was rejected because ASDA security system wouldn't let me not my bank. Not allowed to try topping up again for 24 hours catch22 can only to up by ringing 2732, no credit to ring them. Got through to them by chosing lost phone option Was eventually given £3 credit so I can ring them. Somehow this credit is being used up no idea why our on what as my budge is still working. I'll be looking for a new PAYG provider as soon as I can

I bought a Sim in the ASDA store in August 14 thinking they were free they were not.
I then asked several staff members to sell me a two £5 a month BUNDLES for two phones. I was sold a voucher for the standard tariff. I said the word BUNDLE (NOT top-up voucher) several times There could have been absolutely no mistake in what I said. The staff member sold me the voucher at a self- checkout, I have no idea what codes he was typing into the machine by hand but had to pay for the sims and vouchers that are not the ones I want. I am really annoyed about this. I don't think I can return them and I have no phone to use. I need to send texts but the £5 top-up voucher I was sold will not let me do anything like the number I needed and expected from the £5 a month bundle. I wan someone to do something about this and explain why the staff misunderstood my clear instructions Is a credit card number expected to turn the £5 voucher into the bundle or not? I am extremely frustrated with this and feel I may have made a big mistake with buying an ASDA mobile.
I have had my old numbers ported over now too.
The leaflets I had read in-store very carefully before deciding to buy this bundle did not indicate any problems. But I thin it seems only possible to buy bundle if you give credit cared details and register the sim I don't want to do that and so I will, it seems, end up with an expensive standard tariff I don't want.
Can you tell me if I an convert that 3 voucher to the £5 a month BUNDLE? If not can you tell me if I can return an unused voucher sold to me in error ( I was told that all the sims and vouchers are the same). I really frustrated. it is a LONG journey for me back to the ADSA store.
Can someone please let me know what is what?
Many thanks

Hey don't know if this helps but I thought you had to buy the vouchers like you have as normal credit then apply the bundles by text so if you wanted the £5 minutes,texts and data bundle you text the number 5 to 2732 and that would use the £5 you added using the voucher

I have a mboile for business use but for private use I was with Asda mobile via vodaphone. It was brilliant eg cost of checking credit balance was free and updating apps was at minimal cost but new service with EE is not. I only use my phone infrequently for emergencies by texts or calls and have always bought unlocked phones. The costs have increased MASSIVELY on Asda with EE. Previously a £5 top up would last for about 6 months, now it is about 2 months. Am very cheesed off and am investigating alternatives eg Sainsburys mobile but there is very little clarity as to what other services charge for basic use including credit balance checks. I really do not want to get trapped into paying a for a £5 monthly package when my usage is so low. Any suggestions would be welcome!

I had two mobiles on the old Asda network which I'd bought sim free and unlocked from Argos. When the changeover came the new EE sims were rejected as the phones seemed to be locked to Asda/Vodafone. I think that's bad practice. An unlocked phone should remain unlocked.
Asda customer services, when I finally got through, were about as much use as a chocolate fireguard. As I needed working phones I tried Sainsbury who are partnered with Vodafone. No problem. The sims were accepted and worked straight away, the calls/texts on PAYG are the same price as Asda and I can top up anywhere the green 'Top-up' sign is shown by using the linked top-up card. There is also no charge for checking credit, topping up etc.
My wife has a new phone on the new Asda EE network and the service/coverage has been pretty patchy compared to Vodafone. When the credit runs out on that she'll be switching to Sainsbury as well. Asda need to up their game or get out of the market altogether.

The whole changeover to EE must have cost me at least 3 hours of my time and about 2 pound in calls to an 0845 number. ASDA website gave the incorrect details for internet settings. 2732 number kept cutting me off, I couldn't even register a debit card to pay them. Basically they've made a mess of a switchover that they wanted to do, not me. They should have given out an 0800 number (or 0300) to handle problems rather than trying to charge people for support for fixing their own mistakes. You'd think for the sake of the ASDA brand they'd apologise and give everyone 10 pound credit, not just 100 minutes that expired after 30 days.

Motorist who ploughed into lollipop lady and five children after coughing fit was wearing flip-flops at the wheel, court told
- Robert William Bell, 62, accused of driving without due care and attention
- Injured lollipop lady and five children in accident outside school last year
- Today court heard that flip-flops Bell was wearing could have contributed
- Footwear found under pedals, but Bell says they got stuck after crash
- Bell maintains that he blacked out at the wheel due to a coughing fit
- A professor told court that Bell's account is typical of a 'cough syncope'
- Sufferers can black out and spasm which could have caused accident
Robert Bell, 62, denies one count of driving without due care and attention after his flipped over outside a school last year leaving a lollipop lady and five children injured
A motorist who injured five children and a lollipop lady after flipping his car over outside a school was wearing flip-flops at the time of the crash, a court has been told.
Robert William Bell, 62, left crossing guard Karin Williams with broken legs, elbow, shoulder and ribs in the crash outside Rhws Junior School, in the Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales, last year.
Four girls and a boy aged between five and ten were also injured - including one girl, aged ten, who spent three days on a life support machine and still doesn't have use of her left arm.
Today prosecutor Lisa Jones told Cardiff Magistrates Court was told that Mr Bell was wearing flip-flops at the time of the accident which she claimed contributed to the crash.
She told the court that the flip-flops were found stuck underneath the pedals after Mr Bell crawled out 'bloody and dazed' from his overturned Audi.
However, Bell said the flip flops came off after the collision as he struggled to get out of his seatbelt while hanging upside down.
He said: 'They must have come off while I was kicking to get myself free. I wear flip flops most mornings and I have never had any problems with them.
'These were a substantial pair of footwear to drive in. They were a strong pair - they were more of a sandal than a flip-flop.'
Bell claims he suffered a couching fit at the wheel and passed out shortly before the accident and has no recollection of what happened.
Defence witness Professor Alyn Huw Morice said Bell was a classic case of a patient with cough syncope - which he said can cause people to have blackouts or muscle spasms.
Lollipop lady Karin Williams was left with broken legs, elbow, shoulder and ribs after trying to shield the children outside Rhws Junior School last year
Four girls and a boy aged between five and ten suffered injuries including a fractured skull, bleeding on the brain and broken bones. One girl, ten, had to spend three days on life support after the accident
He said: 'Twenty five people a year are killed while driving with a cough syncope. All of the evidence I have heard is typical of a patient with cough syncope having a road traffic accident.'
Professor Morice told the court there were several indicators for the defendant having the condition.
'He is a portly gentleman, an ex-smoker and was on the (blood pressure) drug ramipril. Around 15% of patients on ramipril develop a chronic cough.'
Mrs Williams (pictured) previously told the court that she saw Bell's car cross the road and speed up before hitting the children, while he sat at the wheel with his eyes open
the accident, Bell told officers he could not remember what had happened
and a passenger in the car said he hadn't heard their shouts to stop as
the car veered across the road.
Professor Morice said: 'Amnesia is typical in a patient who has cough syncope. A lot of patients can seldom remember what happened in the moments prior to them fainting.'
The witness also demonstrated to the court of how a patient of the condition suffered severe muscle spams.
In previous evidence, lollipop lady Mrs Williams told the court that Bell had his eyes open and was gripping the wheel tightly as his car sped across the road.
Asked whether sufferers would have their eyes open or closed, Professor Morice replied: 'Either scenario is plausible.'
During cross examination, prosecutor Lisa Jones called the professor's conclusion 'inaccurate', adding that his report had not considered whether a head injury had caused Mr Bell to forget key details of the accident.
The court also heard today that Bell was wearing flip-flops at the time of the horrific smash, which the prosecution said contributed to the accident
However, Bell claims he lost consciousness due to a coughing fit. Today the court also heard from a professor who confirmed this was possible
The court has previously heard of an incident in 1998 when Bell, of Rhoose, was treated in hospital with a severe chest infection.
After he fainted while bedridden, cough syncope was written on his medical notes.
However, Miss Jones said the incident from 16 years ago was markedly different from the one in 2014 - as he 'collapsed' in the former and 'fitted' in the latter.
Bell denies one charge of driving without due care and attention. The trial continues.
