SUNNYVALE, Calif. and ADDISON, Texas, Nov. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Trintech Group Plc (Nasdaq: TTPA), a leading global provider of integrated financial governance, risk management and compliance software solutions, announced today that it has embedded the Fujitsu Interstage® XWand® XBRL processing engine into the Trintech Unity Xtensible Financial Reporting (XFR) software module, dramatically extending the ability of Trintech clients to create, manage and validate XBRL-compliant financial statements, including Edgar Filer Manual (EFM) validation.

Fujitsu Interstage XWand software helps companies create, validate, report, collect, and analyze financial data in XBRL, a standard format for disclosing financial information.

Trintech's Unity XFR solution is an external financial reporting software module with advanced workflow, document management and XBRL tagging features to help businesses comply with current and planned regulatory mandates dictating the use of XBRL in financial statements. Unity XFR has supported embedded XBRL tagging capabilities since 2007, but with the integration of Fujitsu Interstage XWand, Trintech can now offer its world-class tagging user experience on top of a leading XBRL processing engine. Unity XFR is part of Trintech's Unity Financial GRC Software Suite. To learn more about Unity XFR, or any of the other modules in the Unity suite, visit www.trintech.com today.
