XBRL US Data Quality Committee Solicits Input on 7th Ruleset and Guidance for SEC Filers


The XBRL US Data Quality Committee (DQC) has published its seventh set of Data Quality Rules for a public review and comment period to end September 10, 2018. DQC rules and guidance, which are freely available, are designed to be used by issuers to identify and correct errors in their SEC (News - Alert) filings. The DQC, which is funded through the Center for Data Quality, is responsible for developing guidance and validation rules that can prevent or detect inconsistencies or errors in XBRL data filed with the SEC, and focuses on data quality issues that adversely affect data analysis.

Twelve new rules are included in the seventh ruleset, covering tagging under the new revenue recognition standard, and potential problem areas with tagging pension data.

Rules and guidance developed by the DQC are free and publicly available. Issuers, vendors, analysts, and investors can test out the draft rules and provide comments related to the rules through the public review page: https://xbrl.us/data-quality/rules-guidance/public-review/.

The DQC has scheduled a webinar on August 29 to review the rules and guidance for Ruleset 7. Register for this free, one-hour webinar: https://xbrl.us/events/20180829/.
