Interactive Data Electronic Applications (IDEA)
Overview
  • On 8/19/08, SEC announced IDEA, the successor to
    EDGAR
  • Stated goal To give investors faster and easier
    access to key financial information about public
    companies and mutual funds
  • Will first supplement, then replace EDGAR
  • EDGAR will become archive for pre-XBRL filings
  • Marks shift from submission of documents to
    submission of data
  • Consistent with Interactive Data Initiative and
    previously announced 50M investment in EDGAR
    replacement
  • Gradual phase-in of five years
  • By tapping the power of interactive data to tear
    down barriers to quick and meaningful investment
    information, markets can become fairer and more
    efficient while investors can possess far better
    quality data than was ever possible before.
    (David Blaszkowsky, Director of the SECs Office
    of Interactive Disclosure)

What Is XBRL?
  • What is XBRL?
  • eXtensible Business Reporting Language
    (Interactive Data)
  • Each line item is given data tag standardized by
    US GAAP and different industries
  • What does it do?
  • Creates machine-processed data for re-use and
    easy comparison

5
Key XBRL Terms to Know
  • Tag
  • Machine-readable barcode that gives a standard
    definition for each line item in an income
    statement, SCF, or balance sheet
  • Taxonomy
  • A dictionary of tags for
  • Specific accounting standards (US GAAP, IFRS)
  • Industry segments (e.g., energy, REITs,
    Broker-Dealers, Commercial)
  • Company-specific tags
  • Instance document
  • Collection of tags that is the building block to
    viewing and analyzing data

SEC Proposed Rules Released May 30th, 2008XBRL
Mandate Phase-in Schedule
  • Proposed three year phase-in schedule
  • In year 1, the proposed rules would apply only to
    domestic and foreign large accelerated filers
    that use U.S. GAAP and have a worldwide public
    float above 5 billion (measured as of 2nd Q of
    the fiscal year), estimated to cover
    approximately 500 companies.
  • In year 2, all other domestic and foreign large
    accelerated filers using U.S. GAAP would be
    subject to interactive data reporting.
  • In year 3, all remaining filers using U.S. GAAP,
    including smaller reporting companies, and all
    foreign private issuers that prepare their
    financial statements in accordance with IFRS as
    issued by the IASB would be subject to the same
    interactive data reporting requirements.
  • If proposed rules are adopted, the first phase
    would begin with fiscal periods ending on or
    after December 15, 2008

13
SEC Proposed Rules Released May 30th, 2008What
Needs to be Tagged in XBRL?
  • Face Financial Statements
  • Financial statements refer to the statements of
    financial position (balance sheet), income
    statement, statement of comprehensive income,
    statement of cash flows and statement of owners
    equity
  • Interactive data would be required for all
    periods included in the filers financial
    statements.
  • The disclosure in interactive data format would
    supplement, but not replace or change, disclosure
    using the traditional electronic filing formats
    in ASCII or HTML.
  • Footnotes Schedules
  • The financial statement footnotes and financial
    statement schedules also would be tagged in each
    filer's first year, but in block text only.
  • After the first year of such tagging, a filer
    also would be required to tag the detailed
    disclosures within the footnotes and schedules.

14
SEC Proposed Rules Released May 30th, 2008XBRL
Submission Timing
  • Interactive data would be required to be provided
    to the Commission, and posted on company
    websites, at the same time as the related report
    or registration statement, with two exceptions
  • A 30 day grace period would be permitted for the
    first interactive data exhibit of each filer
  • A 30 day grace period would be permitted for the
    first interactive data exhibit that is required
    to include the footnotes and schedules tagged in
    detail.

15
SEC Proposed Rules Released May 30th,
2008EDGAR Submissions Affected
  • Periodic Transition Reports
  • Interactive data would be required to be provided
    as an exhibit to Annual and Quarterly reports and
    transition reports
  • XBRL files would supplement, but not replace or
    change, disclosure using the traditional
    electronic filing formats in ASCII or HTML.
  • Registration Statements
  • All registration statements filed under the
    Securities Act, including IPOs, will be required
    to include interactive data when financial
    statements are included directly in the
    registration statement
  • Interactive data would not be required as an
    exhibit to a Securities Act registration
    statement that does not contain financial
    statements (such as a Form S-3 filed by an issuer
    that is eligible to and does incorporate by
    reference all required financial statements from
    its periodic reports).
  • Business Combinations
  • Under the proposed rules, interactive data would
    be required for the acquiring company, the filer,
    but not for the company being acquired, in the
    context of a business combination.

The Proposed Liability Framework
Theres no additional requirement for an auditor

SEC Proposed Rules Released Summary of Comments
  • Implementation timeline
  • Delay implementation 6-12 months to give
    technology and tools more time to mature
  • Extend grace period for all filings for the first
    year (60 days for initial, 30 for subsequent)
  • Detailed footnotes
  • Requirement to separately tag each number and
    narrative disclosure within each footnote
    excessive
  • Lower level of specificity to avoid custom tags
  • Create permanent grace period once detailed
    footnotes required
  • Delay concurrent filings
  • Continue to file as 8-K
  • Provide a five day grace period between HTML and
    XBRL
  • Form Types
  • Start with 10-Qs, not 10-Ks
  • Do not include Registration Statements too
    burdensome

Background
  • Use of Electronic Media Releases
  • Adoption of Regulation FD
  • SEC Embraces Web Posting for Some Corporate
    Disclosure
  • Sun Microsystems and Jonathans Blog
  • Advisory Committee on Improvements to Financial
    Reporting

24
Good News or Bad News?
  • The SEC recognizes the importance of technology
    for disseminating information in a
    disclosure-based system of regulation.
  • For the first time, the SEC indicates that
    companies can post information and have that
    information be considered disseminated without
    having to place the same information on a
    newswire or file (or furnish) it on a Form 8-K.
  • Principles-based guidance that companies can
    apply to their own circumstances.

25
The Framework
  • In the interpretive release, the SEC sets forth
    three considerations to help determine whether
    information posted on a corporate website is
    considered public
  • Recognized channel of distributionWhether a
    companys website is a recognized channel of
    distribution.
  • Broad disseminationWhether information is posted
    in a manner calculated to reach investors.
  • Waiting periodWhether information is posted for
    a reasonable period of time so that it has been
    absorbed by investors.
  • The SEC also describes how website postings can
    satisfy the public disclosure requirement of FD
    when selective disclosure occurs.

26
An Opportunity
  • Companies now have an opportunity to revisit the
    Investor Relations portion of their website
  • How well does it work for investors?
  • Can investors find the information they are
    looking for?
  • Will investors think of the companys website as
    a one stop shop for all of the important
    information they need about the company?
  • What is the company doing to market its website
    to investors as a place where they can find
    information?
  • How usable is the website for investors?
  • How can Web 2.0 technologies be used to get the
    word out to the companys investors?

27
Usability
  • How Do Investors Use the Web?
  • Scanning vs. Reading
  • Use of Search Engines
