Xbrl Tagging Sec Free Public Access

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced the official launch of a suite of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) that provide free public access to filings data submitted to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (EDGAR) in XBRL format.XBRL Service Provider: Year 2 detailed tagging and filing - Dependable SEC filing agent for 18 years. The Inline XBRL rules went into effect for calendar year-end large accelerated filers when filing their second quarter Form 10-Q.SEC officially launches APIs for enhanced open data access. The C&DIs also address compliance by early or voluntary filers and foreign private issuers. IXBRL is a format that allows a company to embed data tagging directly in the text of an HTML document rather than tagging a copy of the information in a separate XBRL exhibit.The process of individually tagging numbers in notes to XBRL elements will significantly increase the amount of time necessary to prepare an XBRL filing.On August 20, 2019, the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff') of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC') issued nine new Compliance and Disclosure Interpretations (“C&DIs') regarding Interactive Data (available here), addressing many of the technical compliance issues surrounding the Inline XBRL rules, particularly with respect to common questions related to the exhibit index and cover page tagging. On June 28, 2018, the SEC adopted final rules which will require public companies to use IXBRL for the submission of financial statement information.

This process is supposed to take 1-2 business days, but we have heard of situations where it has taken 1-2 weeks. Volume I, Chapter 5.4 of the EDGAR Filer Manual includes instructions on how to edit company information.Question 101.07 reiterates that the first filing required to comply with Inline XBRL, including cover page tagging, is the first Form 10-Q for a fiscal period ending on or after the applicable compliance date, as opposed to the first filing for a fiscal period made on or after that date. The Staff states that it is permissible for the Inline XBRL tagged company name shown on the cover page to vary from the EDGAR conformed name in various ways and that most such variations will not prevent the filing from being accepted and disseminated. However, in rare instances where a variation may result in a notice of suspension, the registrant should contact EDGAR Filer Technical Support. The Staff also indicated that if a company name does not match its EDGAR conformed company name, the company may wish to consider updating its conformed company name in EDGAR. This satisfies the Staff's recommendation to include a cross-reference and explains to the reader why they will see Exhibit 101 files listed in the “Filing Detail' page, but will not see any Exhibit 104 files listed there.Question 101.03 confirms that once a registrant is subject to Inline XBRL requirements, all Form 8-K filings must comply with the cover page data tagging requirements, not just those Form 8-K filings that include financial statements for which XBRL data is otherwise required.Question 101.05 addresses issues that arise when a company's name differs on the cover page of a filing from its conformed name in EDGAR.
