Both standardised and "as reported" accounts are provided and specific templates are provided for banks, insurance companies and "industrial" companies to reflect the different configurations of their accounts. In the reports, financial items can be "drilled" into to reveal their more detailed components, until ultimately, the raw data is uncovered. Alternatively, users can go directly to the report that contains their required level of detail.
Key financials can be used for global searching. These can also be used in the analysis functions as well as the more detailed financials.
A number of different information providers (IPs) supply companies' financials, including a specialist supplier for banks and insurance companies, to offer optimum, accurate coverage. Complementary information such as ratings, M&A activity, ownership, news etc is supplied by a further 15 companies.
OSIRIS is flexible and easy to use for both experienced and novice users. Advanced options include full Boolean logic, peer and statistical analyses plus time series searching.
