SEC Maps Interactive Data-filing Mandate

LooK at the Data

I took a quick look at the data in the current XBRL on the SEC website and found it lacking. No revenue line in the very first P&L posted by a major company. Information that did not agree to the audited fiancial statements. Most filings in XBRL were only the P&L, balance sheet and cash flow, no footnotes or MD&A. How much extra will the audit firms raise their fees for this boondoogle?
