Over the last 12-months the CAB has undergone a transformation – new branding, a new website and brand new rules, the culmination of a 2-year review process that delivered an updated Constitution, By-Laws and a new Reporting Standard.

The new Reporting Standard which came into effect for the April to September 2009 audit period has been the catalyst for further change as CAB’s members have been introduced to eLodgement, CAB’s  online portal  providing publishers with the ability to lodge audit certificates online and removing the need to complete and submit circulation statements manually.

In its place is an easy-to-use web form, which publishers fill out prior to submitting circulation data for the CAB registered auditor’s approval.  Once approved by the auditor, the circulation data is uploaded into the CAB’s database making it available for viewing through eData.

The release of data in mid November will showcase the new reporting functionality and data from CAB’s Reporting Standard with all-new display screens in eData, new reporting tools and all-new search screens linked to CAB’s multi-layered reporting.
