The non-profit community improving U. S. reporting through a free, open standard
The XBRL API
A standard to retrieve XBRL data
The XBRL API (Application Program Interface) is a set of endpoints developed to help data users access timely, highly granular, structured XBRL data. This standardized API allows developers and data utilities, with limited XBRL knowledge, to learn a single interface to access data from any database that contains XBRL data, including the XBRL US Database of Public Filings.
Approved Guidance & Validation Rules
In October, 2018, the Data Quality Committee – a collaborative of public companies, providers and data users working to improve standardized financial reporting – approved version 7 of freely-available rules and guidance to help filers using US GAAP and IFRS Taxonomies supported by the US Securities and Exchange Commission detect and resolve inconsistencies or errors in XBRL-formatted financial data.
Point of View
The right tools for when it absolutely, positively, has to be done right.
Preparing a perfect turkey is critical for a successful Thanksgiving. Preparing quarterly financial statements is another activity where “getting it right” is critical. The risk of mistakes has significant downsides, ranging from SEC sanction to negatively affecting your company stock price.
