What is XBRL?

• Each line item is given data tag standardized by US GAAP/IFRS and different industries

What does it do?• Creates machine-processable disclosures for more effective

communication, easy re-use and analysis• Allows for disintermediation of data aggregators

Key Terms to Know

• Concept• Precision• Period• Currency

• Taxonomy• A “dictionary” of concepts for:

• Specific accounting standards (US GAAP, IFRS)

• Industry segments (e.g., Oil & Gas, BASI, Commercial & Industrial, Broker Dealer)

Page 15: Elliot goldstein   vintage

Best Practices

• Prepare Primary Financial Statement and Block Tagged Notes XBRL documents at least one to two quarters ahead of your mandated timeframe even if they are not formally filed with the SEC

#1 – On-boarding: establish Initial Template via Tag Approval for a filed 10-Q #2 – Dry Run test to time with Concurrent EDGAR filing

• For Detailed Footnote tagging, examine the structure and presentation of your companies financial disclosure and get an estimate of the number of concepts that will need to be tagged in both your 10-K and 10-Q documents.

• Focus on XBRL data creation and not too much on rendering issues on public sites including the SEC. According to the SEC there is no rendering requirement in the mandate.

Best Practices (continued)

• Extensions - where to extend or not extend?SEC Staff Feedback published in May’09

• When choosing between two US-GAAP Standard Tags (narrow vs. broad), narrow is preferred

• When choosing between an existing Standard and Custom/Extension Tag, every effort should be made to utilize existing US GAAP tag found in taxonomy

• Tags may cross industry classifications

Page 17: Elliot goldstein   vintage

Who Should be Involved?

• External reporting – education and build in more time for review!

• Special project team

• Legal Counsel - Internal or External – do they review notes?

• Audit committee - may need to alter meeting dates down the road?

• Internal/external auditors - get them involved earlier if needed

• Investor relations – posting of XBRL on web site

• Information Technology

• Consultants
