Sage (UK) Limited: Business software and services

Do you want to help shape the future of Sage software for accountants, as we move towards XBRL functionality?

The Sage XBRL Usability and Design Panel is a community of accountants who will help inform how we develop our accounts production and corporation tax software in-line with changes from HMRC and Companies House.

Although we have an obligation to keep our software legislatively compliant, we also need to make sure that accountants are comfortable with our software and that you feel you have a say in how our solutions are developed ready for XBRL. By completing the below form you can join our Usability Panel and have a say in how our software looks and feels.

Plus - visit our XBRLwithsage.com website, which contains all the information you need on XBRL and iXBRL.
