Calcbench, an open source application that leverages corporate XBRL data and performs comparative analytics, was named the $20,000 Grand Prize winner of the XBRL Challenge, a contest for developers to build the most inventive and useful application leveraging XBRL-formatted data from the Securities and Exchange Commission’s EDGAR database.
Calcbench was selected as the winner based on the strength of its user interface and the analytics provided which allow users to perform multi-company comparisons annually and quarter to quarter. Users can add their own notes and formulas, export to Excel and share their work with others.
