EDGARxbrl™          |     Full-featured XBRL filing capability () is the new filing format mandated by the SEC. EDGARsuite™ provides start-to-finish support for such filings by means of its comprehensive and powerful, yet easy-to-use tool, EDGARxbrl™. Developed specifically for SEC filings, it creates complete XBRL filings with no knowledge of XML required. Easy to Get Started XBRL can involve a significant learning curve. EDGARxbrl™ eases you through this process with a step-by-step approach: -
Watch the 30-minute video demonstration showing an actual XBRL filing being created, start to finish, with EDGARxbrl™. This gives you an overall picture of what to expect. -
Download and install EDGARsuite™ for free trial. Then open the XBRL QuickStart tutorial, which includes sample financials, notes to the financials, and easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions. Following these steps, you actually create a complete XBRL filing. In the process you learn the software and get comfortable with the entire process. -
It is then a simple matter to proceed similarly with your own documents and complete your own filings the same way. The bulk of the time and effort during your first filing is spent on mapping/tagging, which is the process of associating facts in your filing with tags from the US GAAP (or other) taxonomy. With more than 17,000 tags in GAAP alone, part of the challenge is getting a feel for these tags. EDGARxbrl™ has a unique feature that lets you easily examine the mapping in any filing, no matter which software that filing was produced with. Examining the mapping/tagging of accepted filings on EDGAR from companies similar to yours gives you a head start with your own mapping and provides the initial direction and confidence. -
From the EDGAR database, download the XBRL files for a filing that you wish to look at. -
Open the filing in EDGARxbrl™. EDGARxbrl™ works with filings produced by any product. -
Create a Mapping Report. This report lists the line items and notes in the filing, retaining their original layout, along with the names, details, taxonomy and documentation of the XBRL tag that each of them is mapped to. Presented in an easy-to-assimilate format, this report provides a clear understanding of the mapping/tagging in that filing. Click here to see a sample mapping report. Examining a few filings in this manner gives you the background and understanding to confidently map/tag your own filings.
