Transcript 16th XBRL International Conference

Track: 4
Title: Innovations in the credit chain
Speaker: Fritz Witt – June 25th 2009
Speech on behalf of Datev and URA Rating Agency®
The URA Rating Agency is convinced that the accountant will be the most important
player within the rating industry in the near future. Because only an independent and
neutral intermediary such as an accountant is able to deliver the quality of the data
that banks and CAI’s (credit assessment institutions) need to produce a reliable
rating within a transparent rating process.
