Practical application of BRTL approach for financial reporting domain

Abstract

Business rules are evidently important for organisations as they describe how they are doing business. Business rules templates are often proposed as a means of the specification of business rules. Business rules templates language (BRTL) is a language developed for the specification of business rules templates. This paper documents the findings of an experiment aimed at determining the extent to which business rules specified using BRTL can be used within the model driven development of the financial reporting systems. The results of the experiment are compared with the data available from the four historical projects of the same domain.
