SEC XBRL Detail Tagging should use 2012 taxonomy

scott@sec-report-filing.com (Scott Berkley) — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 11:55:19 +0000

Now that the 2012 version of the US GAAP taxonomy has been approved for use, SEC filers who are developing their Detail Tagging templates should do so using this most current version of the taxonomy.

Contact Southridge Services at 801-708-2204 with questions.

2012 US GAAP XBRL taxonomy is available...

scott@sec-report-filing.com (Scott Berkley) — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:02:29 +0000

FASB has release the new 2012 taxonomy. It is available for analysis and review at

http://www.fasb.org/jsp/FASB/Page/SectionPage&cid=1176158877750.

At this point, however, the SEC has not yet formally accepted the 2012 version, so filers should continue to use the 2011 taxonomy until the 2012 version is accepted.

In the meantime, an comparison of previously selected elements from the 2011 taxonomy to the new 2012 taxonomy should be made to determine if any adjustments should be made.

Feel free to contact us at 801-708-2204 or filing@sec-report-filing.com with any questions.

XBRL Exhibit Index

scott@sec-report-filing.com (Scott Berkley) — Fri, 27 May 2011 12:33:25 +0000

The following lines and descriptions need to be added to the exhibit index of a 10-Q or 10-K filing to indicate the presence of XBRL files:

101.ins	XBRL Instance
101.xsd	XBRL Schema
101.cal	XBRL Calculation
101.def	XBRL Definition
101.lab	XBRL Label
101.pre	XBRL Presentation

Some companies prefer longer descriptions, such as:

XBRL Instance Document
XBRL Taxonomy Extension Schema Document
XBRL Taxonomy Extension Calculation Linkbase Document
XBRL Taxonomy Extension Definition Linkbase Document
XBRL Taxonomy Extension Label Linkbase Document
XBRL Taxonomy Extension Presentation Linkbase Document

And some companies prefer to emphasize the "furnished, not filed" nature of the XBRL documents by adding a footnote to both the Exhibit 32, and the XBRL documents, which is described as "Furnished - not filed - not incoroporated by reference - not subject to liability."

XBRL FAQ's: Why, When, Who, When, How

scott@sec-report-filing.com (Scott Berkley) — Fri, 20 May 2011 15:23:10 +0000

For a specific yet high-level overview of XBRL frequently asked questions, we will send a comlimentary Powerpoint file that will quickly answer most of your questions, and will likely provide useful information you didn't think about. It's a 20-page presentation of the most important aspects of XBRL that we would hope everyone knows.

XBRL Disclosure Text Blocks for Footnotes Mapping

scott@sec-report-filing.com (Scott Berkley) — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 09:54:21 +0000

When organizing footnotes to the financial statements, SEC filers may want to take into account the standard text-block elements accepted by the SEC in the 2011 US GAAP taxonomy as an outline for how to group and present their financial footnotes, so extensions do not have to be made.

Following is the complete list of 173 items, 47 of which are new to the 2011 US GAAP taxonomy. (This list contains 4 items that are not listed in the new "Comprehensive Text Block List" presentation, but are found elsewhere in the taxonomy - they also need to be considered!)

SEC Comments regarding incorrect negative values

scott@sec-report-filing.com (Scott Berkley) — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 13:05:58 +0000

In another set of Staff Observations (see http://www.sec.gov/spotlight/xbrl/staff-review-observations-110110.shtml) the SEC has again reminded filers to report the correct sign in the values of their XBRL tags:

Negative values

One of the fundamental requirements of the interactive data rules is to have the same data reflected in both the interactive data file and the traditional format financial statement filing. Data entered into the interactive data file with the incorrect positive/negative value gives the wrong value to users of the tagged data and does not comply with Rule 405 of Regulation S-T. We noted filers using negative values to render brackets around numbers similar to their traditional format financial statement filing. Amounts must not be entered with negative values in an interactive filing for the sole purpose of forcing the amounts to render with brackets. (Edgar Filer Manual (EFM) 6.11.6) Filers should be aware that formatting amounts with or without brackets may be controlled by negating labels in the Interactive Data Financial Statements.

We further noted that filers were creating extensions with balance attributes that were not consistent with similar elements in the US GAAP taxonomy. Filers should select a balance attribute (or create a definition if the element does not have a balance attribute as required by the EDGAR Filer Manual) using the same conventions as currently used in the US GAAP Taxonomy, which generally allows amounts to be entered with a positive value.

Observation: We have noted many occurrences of filers incorrectly entering negative values within their Interactive Data Financial Statement submissions. In the U.S. GAAP taxonomy, most elements are designed to be entered with positive values.

Rule: EFM 6.6.30 States that a preparer should invert the sign of a numeric fact whose element has an xbrli:balance value that is inconsistent with the reporting concept being reported.

Remarks: If an element describes a one-way financial reporting concept (e.g. cost of goods sold, treasury stock, or dividends paid) the amount should be entered with a positive value regardless of how that amount may be displayed in the traditional format filing. Filers should pay particular attention to elements used to detail tag footnotes where the element describes a loss or accumulated expense.

If an element describes a two-way financial reporting concept which may have either positive or negative values (e.g., net income (loss), gain (loss) on investments, or increase (decrease) in accounts payable or Retained Earnings/Accumulated Deficit) filers should look to the element's definition, balance attribute and standard label to determine whether the amount should be entered with a positive or negative value.

For example, the following elements would be entered with positive values:

Dividends paid in cash or stock,
Common or preferred stock issued,
Common or preferred stock repurchased,
Treasury stock, beginning and ending balances,
Treasury stock acquired,
Treasury stock reissued,
Treasury stock retired,
Accumulated depreciation and amortization,
Accumulated other-than-temporary impairments,
Allowance for doubtful accounts,
Amortization of pension costs,
Available-for-sale securities in a continuous loss position, and,
Available-for-sale securities, gross unrealized losses.

If you have any concerns whatsoever about the correctness of the values in your XBRL filing, please contact Southridge Services at 801-708-2204 or info@sec-report-filing.com.

SEC staff observations for XBRL dated November 1, 2010

scott@sec-report-filing.com (Scott Berkley) — Thu, 04 Nov 2010 10:39:42 +0000

The SEC has issued a second set of "observations" regarding previously filed XBRL documents that they are encouraging SEC filers to become aware of to produce higher quality and more accurate XBRL submissions. This easily read and concise document can be found at:

http://www.sec.gov/spotlight/xbrl/staff-review-observations-110110.shtml

XBRL required posting on company website

scott@sec-report-filing.com (Scott Berkley) — Wed, 27 Oct 2010 09:15:11 +0000

The SEC does allow filers to either post their XBRL files directly on their website, or provide a link to a third-party site if there is no fee involved for a user to access the third-party site, and if the third-party site is not the SEC's website (and, of course, that the posting is made in a timely manner). Essentially, this allows smaller companies to utilize subcontractors.

The above interpretation comes from the following comment made on the SEC's "interpretations" webpage at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/guidance/interactivedatainterp.htm.

Question 130.09

Question: A filer is required to post an interactive data file on the filer's web site, if it has one. The filer cannot comply with this requirement by providing a hyperlink on its web site to the Commission's web site. See Securities Act Release No. 9002 (Jan. 30, 2009). May the filer comply with this requirement by providing a hyperlink on its web site directly to the interactive data file, which is itself on a non-Commission third-party web site?

Answer: Yes, if the hyperlink goes directly to the interactive data file, the interactive data file is made available in the required time frame, and access to the interactive data file is free of charge to

the user.

Should XBRL files be formatted to appear identical to the traditional (HTML or ASCII) format?

scott@sec-report-filing.com (Scott Berkley) — Tue, 19 Oct 2010 10:19:37 +0000

XBRL is all about creating data, not reports. The data should represent all numerical content of the report. The format is not important because the data will be rendered differently by different viewers. It is the data contained within the XBRL files, not the format, that is important.

The SEC has clarified this many times. One of the most succinct answers is provided below, as found at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/guidance/interactivedatainterp.htm:

Question 130.08

Question: Must an Interactive Data File that complies with the requirements of Rule 405 of Regulation S-T appear identical to the traditional format financial statements when displayed by a viewer on the Commission's website?

Answer: No. There is no such requirement.

XBRL Detail Footnote Tagging: Do ALL numerical figures need to be tagged?

scott@sec-report-filing.com (Scott Berkley) — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 10:54:14 +0000

Regarding the SEC's requirement that Year 2 filers tag their financial footnotes in detail, the question has arisen as to what exactly needs to be tagged. Most understand that "everything" that is a number needs to be tagged individually. But what about numbers that are simply descriptions, adjectives, if you will? The answer is, "No, not everything." The SEC has provided a list of examples that would not need to be detail tagged in their Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations found at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/guidance/interactivedatainterp.htm:

Question 146.16

Question: In detail tagging financial statement footnotes and schedules in its interactive data file, a filer must also, among other things, tag separately "[e]ach amount (i.e., monetary value, percentage, and number)" within each footnote and financial statement schedule under Rules 405(d)(4)(i) and 405(e)(2)(i), respectively, of Regulation S-T. Are there any monetary values, percentages or numbers in footnotes and financial statement schedules that do not need to be tagged separately?

Answer: Yes. Examples of the types of monetary values, percentages and numbers that the staff has agreed are not within the purpose of the current interactive data requirements and, as a result, need not be tagged separately to comply with Rules 405(d)(4)(i) and 405(e)(2)(i) include:

attributed increased sales to the $1.99 pancake special (the increased sales figure itself would need to be tagged);
sales of 1% fat milk (the sales figure itself would need to be tagged);
docket number 34-4589;
22nd district court;
FASB Accounting Standards Codification Section 605-40-15;
altitude of 27,000 feet;
drilling 700 feet;
open new stores no less than 2 miles from existing stores;
founded a new subsidiary in 2009;
each restaurant now offers at least 20 entrees under 500 calories; and
number of the footnote itself.

XBRL: Detail tagging the Significant Account Policies

scott@sec-report-filing.com (Scott Berkley) — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 12:14:40 +0000

As per a clarification in the SEC's Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations (found at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/guidance/interactivedatainterp.htm), SEC filers who are required to detail-tag their footnotes essentially must search the entire footnotes section of the financial statements to find their "significant accounting policies", and tag each one separately, regardless of where in the notes those policies may be found. See the SEC's explanation below:

Question 146.15

Question: In detail tagging financial statement footnotes and schedules in its interactive data file, a filer must, among other things, "block-text" tag "[e]ach significant accounting policy within the significant accounting policies footnote" under Rule 405(d)(2) of Regulation S-T. Must the filer also block-text tag significant accounting policies that are described in footnotes outside of a significant accounting policies footnote, either because the significant accounting policies footnote is not the only footnote that describes significant accounting policies or because there is no significant accounting policies footnote?

Answer: Yes. [Sept. 17, 2010]

How to correct an error on XBRL (interactive data) submissions

scott@sec-report-filing.com (Scott Berkley) — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 11:21:45 +0000

What if a 10-Q or 10-K filing with the SEC contains an error in the interactive data files (the XBRL files) but the underlying financials as presented in the traditional HTML or ASCII format are correct. What forms/filings does one use to fix the XBRL files?

The SEC has provided an answer to this question in their Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations, found at http://www.sec.gov/divisions/corpfin/guidance/interactivedatainterp.htm.

Question 115.03

Question: Must a filer provide disclosures under Item 4.02(a) of Form 8-K when it discovers a material error in its Interactive Data File while the financial statements upon which they are based do not contain an error and may continue to be relied on?

Answer: No. Item 4.02(a) requires a Form 8-K only when the filer determines that previously issued financial statements should no longer be relied upon because of an error in those financial statements. If a filer wants to voluntarily provide non-reliance disclosure similar to Item 4.02(a) that pertains only to the interactive data, it can do so under either Item 7.01 or Item 8.01 of Form 8 K. In any event, if a filer finds a material error in its Interactive Data File, it must file an amendment to correct the error. In addition, once a filer becomes aware of the error in its Interactive Data File, it must correct the error promptly in order for the Interactive Data File to be eligible for the modified treatment under the federal securities laws provided by Rule 406T of Regulation S-T.

Form D filers - need to apply for EDGAR codes

scott@sec-report-filing.com (Scott Berkley) — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 11:51:56 +0000

Beginning March 15, 2009, Form D filers are no longer permitted to submit paper forms - they must be filed electronically. The SEC anticipates that many Form D filers do not yet have their EDGAR access codes to be able to file electronically, and so advises that Form D filers apply for their EDGAR access codes as soon as possible.

The following is the SEC's announcment, found at http://www.sec.gov/info/edgar/ednews/eformd.htm:

Notice to New EDGAR Filers and Form D Filers
The SEC’s Division of Corporation Finance provides the following guidance for filers, especially new filers and Form D filers. This guidance does not change any existing rules or create any new ones.

Until March 15, 2009, Form D filers may submit their filings in either paper or electronic form. Beginning March 16, 2009, Form D filers must:

Make all Form D filings electronically on EDGAR; and

Amend their Form D filings if they are conducting continuing offerings of securities and they have not made a Form D filing within the previous year.
Because the new annual amendment and electronic filing requirements will affect many filers that have not filed using EDGAR in the past, we expect requests for EDGAR access codes to increase. To avoid a delay in receiving EDGAR access codes, new EDGAR filers may wish to request EDGAR access codes well in advance of a filing deadline.

Filers with an annual amendment requirement may submit paper or electronic Form D filings before the March 16 deadline, and may wish to do so to avoid potential delays around that date. After March 16, the amendment must be electronic.

We strive to respond promptly to requests for EDGAR access codes. Given the potential filing volume during March, requests for EDGAR access codes may take longer than usual. To avoid unnecessary delays, we suggest that filers secure EDGAR access codes well in advance of their electronic filing deadline. Filers who have submitted only paper filings should use the “Convert Paper Only Filer to Electronic Filer” process outlined in the EDGAR Filer Manual.

SEC adopts XBRL with extended deadlines

scott@sec-report-filing.com (Scott Berkley) — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 13:43:06 +0000

Breaking news with more detail to follow later:

In today's Securities and Exchange Commission Open Meeting, the XBRL initiative was approved as proposed in May, 2008. However, the time-frame was pushed back six months: Large companies with public world-wide float above $5 billion (as of the 2nd Quarter of 2008) will not be required to submit XML instance document files (in addition to the standard HTML or ASCII files) until filing reports for periods ending after June 15, 2009 (instead of December 15, 2008). This means calendar-year companies will be required to report their 10-Q in XML format (in addition to the HTML or ASCII files) for the period ending 6/30/2009 , instead of their 10-K for the period ending 12/31/2008.

The same three-part phase-in period applies, and with a similar six-month delay for the later two tiers of reporting companies. Other companies and smaller reporting companies will have until after June of their corresponding year, instead of the previously anticipated December-dated reports.
