Key Messages
In the short term, key messages include:
• Supply Chain Standardization rather than a compliance requirement
• Review company report via XBRL analytical tools rather than viewer or rendering
• Build-in rather than bolt-on to enhance reporting processes and controls
• Enhances reporting/review processes not just Ks & Qs
• Broadcast directly to stakeholders to enhance effectiveness of communications
• Enables social processes (publishing, analytical, review)
• Currently in use by broad range of analysts (social analytics)
• Redefines ‘convergence’ and provides economic incentives for IFRS adoption in countries around the world (SBR) 4
PwC
Basics on XBRL
PwC
What is XBRLInternational supply chain standardization effort• Designed specifically to address pervasive process problems
• Mandated by economics and regulators (including US SEC)
• Applicable to business information, related business rules, formulas, controls, processes, resources, etc.
• “Bar Code” for Business Information
- Adds structure (meaning) to company disclosures
- Enhances processing and reuse
- Disclosure neutral
- Taxonomies available for: US/IFRS GAAP, other statutory GAAP, MD&A, CSR, GRI, Proxy, Corp Actions, Legers/subledgers, other non-financial
• Process enhancements are available and being realized
• Examples: Traditional Rendered XBRL Raw XBRL

From proprietary to infrastructure Match the proprietary ‘technology’ to the standard that transformed it to ‘infrastructure’.
What were once proprietary technologies were transformed into ‘infrastructure via standards. XBRL is the standard for Business Information.
PwC
What is XBRL?Supply Chain Standard
• UPC/Bar Code for Business Information
• Specifically designed to:
• Enhance Information Transparency and Reuse
• Improve Data Quality through source validation and analysis
• Enable collaborative development and use of
formulas/models/rules
• Standardize presentation concepts for collaborative use
• Provide standardization for broad range of business
information concepts
• Put Users (not IT/software) in control
• Streamline business processes while lowering costs
• Similar impacts to how the UPC/Bar Code has transformed the retail
grocery supply chain and processes

The SEC Mandate
PwC
Basics on XBRL and the SEC MandateUS SEC Mandate summary
Improving transparency and reuse
• XBRL Mandate impacting all public registrants including US GAAP/IFRS filers
- Companies = GAAP F/S
- Mutual Funds = Risk & Return Disclosures
• 3 year phase-in commencing for periods ending after June 15, 2009
- Year 1 = basic f/s and notes as ‘block text’
- Year 2 = basic f/s and note disclosures in detail
• 30 day grace period for initial submission in first two years
• Mandatory web site posting
• Limited Liability Provisions for first 2 years
• Mandate specifically excludes audit; voluntary AUPs are occurring

Basics on XBRL and the SEC MandateKey learning's & observations on initial XBRL submissionsCompliance with the Edgar Filer Manual
• 200+ fairly complex technical rules; some require financial reporting judgments
• Some validation rules are included within the SEC filing processes
Preparation and review processes and controls
• Start early and consider a ‘test’ run submission
• Knowledge of company financial statements more relevant than XBRL expertise
• Adjust reporting timeline to accommodate XBRL submission process
• Focus early on company specific taxonomy extension(s) to USGT
• Consider assessment of EDGAR Filer Manual rule compliance
• Internal reporting validation and analytical rules and controls
Consider SEC test filing to assess ‘some’ validation rules
Consider SEC Previewer to assess presentation views
PwC
• Process implications of concurrent submission of the XBRL Exhibit
- Compression that exists in many companies reporting timetables
- Manual nature of such processes
- Is your current process sustainable, especially in the context of the detailed tagging required in 'Year 2'?
- Validation rules can be applied by companies and their constituents, including regulators and potentially used to:
◦ Enhance the quality of reported disclosures
◦ Enhance the quality of analysis of reported disclosures by third parties

Insights on 2011 USGT
• 2011 USGT available from FASB on January 18, 2011
http://www.fasb.org/jsp/FASB/Page/SectionPage&cid=1176157088011
• SEC Approved 2011 USGT effective February 28, 2011
http://www.sec.gov/info/edgar/edgartaxonomies.shtml
“The SEC staff strongly encourages companies to use the most recent version of the US GAAP taxonomy release for their Interactive Data submissions to take advantage of the most up to date tags related to new accounting standards and other improvements. However, due to the timing of the release of the US GAAP 2011 taxonomy in conjunction with the phase-in of the Rule, companies will be permitted to continue to use the US GAAP 2009 taxonomy.”
• Fiscal year-end transition may facilitate comparative analysis
• Additional elements may reduce some company specific extensions

Scope of Disclosure TaggingHow granular is XBRL taxonomy mapping applied?
Examples of Amounts NOT Required to be tagged:
- A footnote number itself- 1% fat milk- A meal of less than 500 calories- At an altitude of 27,000 feet- Depreciated using Section 179- No help was available within 2
miles- $1.99 pancake special- Docket no. 34-4589
- 21nd district court- FASB ASC 605-40-15- Drilling 700 feet- Open new stores no less than 2

Common Errors and Issues
21
PwC 22
SEC Staff Observations on XBRL submissions
SEC Staff Observations (from June 15, 2011)
Observations for filers tagging the face of the financial statements
• Format of the statements
• Negative Values
• Extended elements
• Completeness of tagging
Additional Observations for Detail Tagged Filings:
• Modeling of Level 4 tagging
• Negative Values
• Units
• Other observations from certain filings include: monetary values, Article 12 schedules, footnotes, and calculation links.
PwC 23
SEC Staff Observations on XBRL submissions
SEC Staff Observations (from November 1, 2010)
• Negative Values - Errors in positive and negative signs. (50% of errors)
• Extending for an element where an existing US GAAP Taxonomy element is appropriate
• Inappropriate Axis and Member use
• Lack of use of the US GAAP modeling for Axis and Members
• Tagging completeness — Parenthetical Amounts
PwC 24
Other Observations on XBRL Submissions
• Company and period specific information in elements
• Calculation errors and anomalies, particularly in tables in the notes to the financial statements
• Supplemental Schedules omitted
• Company specific extensions created but unused
• Problems with dimensions and scenarios
• Errors in the use of decimals. (e.g., 0 rounded to the nearest 1,000,000)
• Tagging same number twice with multiple tags
• Failure to tag a number (as defined by the SEC)
• Failure to structure all footnotes included in the notes to the financial statements
• Mistakes in the unit of measure (e.g., incorrect use of “pure”)
• Use of future date contexts (e.g., future debt payments)
PwC 25
Common Causes
• Company review based on Excel reports and not the underlying XBRL instance. Lack of tools used by management to adequately review the taxonomy/instances
• Tagging performed by individuals without full understanding of Company's financial reporting
• Tagging performed by individuals without a full understanding of XBRL and the SEC EDGAR Filer Manual
• Common and pervasive misunderstandings by service providers
• Focus on speed and lower cost over accuracy and completeness in tagging
• Time crunch required by outsourcing solution and limited turn-around time
• Lack of a defined process and timeline
• Focus on rendering rather than the structure of the disclosures
• Expectation gap of financial printers (lack of GAAP reporting expertise)
• Not a management priority related to liability protection for a 2 year period
PwC
Modified Liability Provisions
Modified liability provisions – what does it mean?
• Submissions are subject to the federal securities laws in a modified manner when filed within 24-months of the first required filing but no later than October 31, 2014, provided:
• Good faith attempt
• Prompt correction
• Voluntary filings do not count towards the 24-month period
• The 24-month period is exclusive of a grace period
• Group 1 companies– be sensitive to the expiration of the modified liability provisions
• No change to external auditor involvement26
PwC
When does the Modified Liability Provisions end?
Question: When does the SEC's Interactive Data Modified Liability Period end for companies currently submitting their XBRL Exhibits?
Answer: Guidance is provided within the SEC final rule here in section 232.406T which states:
"(d) Temporary section. Section 232.406T is a temporary section that applies to an Interactive Data File submitted to the Commission less than 24 months after the electronic filer first was required to submit an Interactive Data File to the Commission pursuant to § 232.405, not taking into account any grace period, but no later than October 31, 2014.“
Further, footnote 231 of the final rule provides additional guidance:
"For example, a large accelerated filer first required to submit interactive data for financial statements in a Form 10-Q for the fiscal period ended June 30, 2009, would be required to submit the interactive data by 30 days after the Form 10-Q's August 10, 2009 due date but its 24-month period would end August 10, 2011”.

Refer to “Appendix 1: XBRL Tool Considerations” for a list of questions to ask
the vendors.
PwC
XBRL Tool ConsiderationsSome key questions to ask the vendors
1. Is the tool simply a bolt on that creates XBRL documents, or does it support the full creation of financial statements?
2. Does the tool allow for conditional assembly of the financial statements (e.g. automatically include certain MD&A sections based on performance)?
3. Can you extend the taxonomy using the tool itself, or do you need an external taxonomy editor?
4. Does the tool allow you to tag the same data with multiple taxonomies (e.g. IFRS and US GAAP)?
5. Does the tool currently support iXBRL? Are there plans for future support?
6. Does the tool allow you to quickly compare taxonomies (US GAAP 2009 versus 2011) and identify the impact on your instance document?
7. Does the tool suggest tags for the various concepts in the report? Is the search tool for tags easy to use? Is there taxonomy mapping wizard functionality? If so, how robust are its capabilities?
8. How does the tool allow you to rollforward from one period to the next?
9. Does the tool have appropriate security controls (segregation of duties, login and access by user, role, etc.)?
10. Does the tool enable workflow processes around the creation, maintenance and review of company reports?
11. Does the work flow functionality align to your company's demands? Does it enable decentralized mapping to source systems as well as to the relevant taxonomies?
12. Can the tool interface with your consolidation software? Can the tool import XBRL GL data?
13. Can the application consume XBRL from internal and/or external sources via Web Service and/or RSS feed?
14. Can the tool interface with your document management
system (e.g. Documentum)?15. Can the tool create units on the fly? Does the tool support
link:footnotes?16. Does it make HTML/XBRL GL a true transparent and
parallel process? Does changing the presentation order update the presentation linkbase?
17. What kind of validations does the tool allow you to perform on the XBRL instance document? Most tools validate that the instance document will be accepted by the SEC. Are there validations built in that check more sections of the Edgar Filer Manual? Does the tool allow you to write and check for your own validation rules?
18. Does the tool interoperable with the XBRL US Consistency Suite to enable taxonomy mapping and consistency validation assessments?
19. Does the tool allow you to easily check for calculation inconsistencies and easily identify all calculation relationships in the document?
20. Does the tool allow you to easily identify the attributes of each fact (e.g. data type, unit, decimals, balance, etc.) in a standard report?
21. Does the tool enable EDGARization of company reports and submission directly to Edgar? Does it facilitate corporate website posting?
22. Does the tool allow you to run comparative analysis on your peers of both numerical and narrative disclosures?
23. How quickly does the vendor respond and provide updates related to new issuances of the US GAAP taxonomy and the Edgar Filer Manual?
24. Does the tool fit within your IT infrastructure (e.g. client server) or is it deployed via a Cloud implementation?
38
PwC
Project Planning
Project team:- Core group to include supporting accounting teams- Assess group and/or individuals in charge of tagging efforts- Train team on Taxonomy mapping and extension process
◦ Need an efficient means of building/managing taxonomy components
Workflows:- Define workflow for mapping and review efforts (divisional teams,
topical groups, etc.) - Develop validation processes and acquire relevant tools- Assess process and control modifications and ICFR implications
Policy Matters:- Modified liability provision timeline for company- Company specific extensions (documentation support)
Timeline: - Mandated compliance reports- Priorities for other relevant reports, materials and risk assessments
39
PwC
Taxonomy Considerations
• US GAAP Taxonomy – SEC Approved Taxonomies
- 2009 Taxonomy
- 2011 Taxonomy“The SEC staff strongly encourages companies to use the most recent version of the US GAAP taxonomy release for their Interactive Data submissions to take advantage of the most up to date tags related to new accounting standards and other improvements.”
• Hierarchical structure = Conceptual Accounting Framework
• Commercial & Industrial Taxonomy view

PwC
Compliance Process Considerations
Bolt-on / Outsourcing solutions are simply not scalable or sustainable
Transition to Built-in approach to streamline and automate current manual report assembly and review process steps as well as lay a foundation for other efficiencies
Anticipate SBR styled compliance environment in the next 3 to 5 years
IFRS relevant to compliance reporting across broad range of countries
Leverage Built-in reporting processes for compliance requirements in all jurisdictions; minimize current territory specific manual compliance reporting shops
Provide greater oversight and governance from above
Greater control for reconciliation between regions, reporting requirements

PwC
Who is using XBRL?
42
PwC
Why analysts use XBRL?Enhance cost and time to access, reuse , analyze, report and act• Traditional data sources are error prone, incomplete, slow
to market and expensive
• Company has no control or input on third party tagging (Please see Appendix A that compares company reported disclosures and data aggregator data on the company)
• Third party data aggregator parsing errors and normalization of company reported disclosures
• Typically 20% to 25% error rate on primary tables
• Note disclosures are limited to non-existent
• XBRL enhances: Speed, Accuracy, Completeness, Cost effectiveness, analytical capabilities
• Company has limited insights on analyst use of company disclosures or analytical drivers; social analytical platforms provide a collaborative model

Analysts Reflect on Company Specific ExtensionsQuality of XBRL submissions is of interest to analystsCompany specific extensions are often created when USGT elements are available for disclosure element.
Institutional Analysts, in particular, are focused on the inappropriate use of extensions as outlined in this blog:

46
PwC 47
Implementation Considerations Supplement Website Posting Requirement
XBRL Submission required to be posted on company website
◦ Need not be made available in a format comparable to paper-based information. No viewer necessary.
◦ Link to SEC EDGAR to satisfy the posting requirement is prohibited
◦ Many companies are providing a link to third-party services that host their SEC filings and often provide a viewer
Investor Relations related considerations
◦ Virtual renderings provide efficiency opportunity (example here)
◦ Be aware of EDGAR RSS Feeds
◦ Consider Company IR RSS Feeds
› Direct communication with relevant analysts / stakeholders
› ‘Fact Sheet’, Press Release, Proxy, etc.
◦ Consideration of Corporation Actions Taxonomy
PwC
RSS Feeds – html vs. XBRLDirect vs. Indirect communications
RSS feeds of XBRL are actionable by software and can be analyzed immediately; while the html pages may require some degree of human intervention. The company may want to consider RSS feeds with XBRL files.

Sample Data Aggregator Distortions
Following are a few example of the distortion and omission that exists within the data that supply chain data aggregators provide to the analyst community. These are examples from the publicly available query sites.
Items highlighted in the red boxes reflect disclosures that are “different” between what the company reported and what is available via data aggregator feeds available to the analyst community.
Typically, the level of detail is normalized into summary concepts that tend to limit company specific disclosures.
