It is also consistent with the Open Data Initiative of which the government is a part

business record keeping/accounting processes Have reports pre-filled in business software As far as possible – automate the reporting process

How the SBR Taxonomy Architecture Works
13
Benefits of the SBR Taxonomy Architecture Each SBR Program develops its own taxonomy,
but they have the option to leverage the SBR Taxonomy Architecture used in most Programs – which saves time and resources
It is also an important governance tool and it facilitates harmonization
14
Conclusions
SBR is a global reality Existing Programs are having a significant
impact▫Costs reductions▫Rationalization and simplification
New Programs are leveraging best practices and lessons learned and achieve results more quickly and with lower investment
SBR in Canada has the potential to significantly reduce compliance costs for businesses
