Checks for SEC-specific Restrictions SEC XBRL filings are Interactive Data filings, the specifications of which are more stringent than generic XBRL. As noted in the SEC specification at , "A valid Interactive Data instance is a valid XBRL 2.1 instance, but not all valid XBRL 2.1 instances are valid Interactive Data instances." As a result, generic XBRL products may not catch SEC-specific errors. On the other hand, EDGARxbrl™ was developed specifically for SEC filings, and alerts you to XBRL-valid but SEC-invalid constructs such as: - Synonymous contexts and units
- Unused contexts and units
- Overlapping time periods, such as a quarter ending on the same day as the start of the next quarter
- Start-of-period time instants in contexts
- Use of forever in contexts
- Dimension items in an extension taxonomy
- Scenario elements in contexts
- Disallowed entity identifiers in contexts
- Required Document and Entity tags
- Syntax of text block notes containing HTML
- Many other SEC-specific validation checks
By not creating such constructs in the first place and catching them in filings prepared using other products, EDGARxbrl™ saves you time, money and effort while making it much easier to prepare 100% SEC-valid XBRL instances. |
