3Interactive 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)
4What 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

easy comparison
5Key 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)

12SEC 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
13SEC Proposed Rules Released May 30th, 2008What
Needs to be Tagged in XBRL?

- 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.
14SEC 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.

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

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.

24Good 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.
25The 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.
26An 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?
27Usability
- How Do Investors Use the Web?
- Scanning vs. Reading
- Use of Search Engines
- Placement of Links and Information
- Use of Effective Keywords
- Use of Visual Cues
- Appropriate Formats for Documents
- Pushing the Information Out
- Avoid Overload!
