The Committee develops freely available guidance and validation rules for public companies to prevent or detect inconsistencies or errors in XBRL submissions to the SEC. Proposed guidance and rules are subject to public comment before final publication. The Committee holds periodic meetings to update the SEC staff on its progress.

Get Involved

Join the Center for Data Quality.  Center members fund the work of the Data Quality Committee, and are eligible to have their commercial software applications DQC certified when they have incorporated the rules into their XBRL preparation tools. Certification verifies that their tool is in compliance and can successfully run the DQC rules. Learn more about Center participation.

Have a Say in the Guidance and Validation Rules. Proposed guidance and associated validation rules are published for public review and comment for a 45 day period. Comments are reviewed and incorporated where appropriate.

Improve the Quality of Your XBRL Submission. Once the Committee approves final guidance and rules, they are made freely, publicly available for use.
