SEC Releases Trend of Custom Tag Rates in XBRL Submissions from Fiscal Years 2018 to 2020
Staff from the SEC’s Division of Economic and Risk Analysis (DERA) have published the trend of custom tag usage in XBRL submissions for financial reporting in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP) from fiscal years 2018 through 2020. When the standard XBRL taxonomy does not provide an appropriate element to tag the disclosure, the SEC’s rules allow filers to create custom tags. This modification accommodates special circumstances in a filer’s particular disclosure, but the SEC has recognized that using custom tags could potentially decrease the comparability of inter-company data. For this reason, the SEC’s rules specify the limited circumstances under which a filer is permitted to create custom tags.
