Seven Tips for your First Filing of Detailed Footnotes in XBRL


September 21, 2011 (SmartPros) As organizations have completed their year-one SEC requirement with block note tagging in XBRL, they are preparing for the next major milestone: filing their detailed footnotes (DFN) in XBRL.

This causes increased complexity and time to be spent in the process of preparing, reviewing, and finalizing the XBRL for concurrent filing with the EDGAR filing. It is possible that many organizations may have completed adjustments to their financial reporting and approval processes while they implemented the first phases of the XBRL filing requirement.

To complete the first DFN filing successfully, Accounting Web offers seven guidelines.
