SEC Takes Further Steps Towards Inline XBRL – Regulation S-K

SEC Takes Further Steps Towards Inline XBRL

On October 11, the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) proposed a significant series of amendments concerning Regulation S-K. The proposed amendments are intended to modernize and simplify certain disclosure requirements in Regulation S-K. The SEC is proposing that all of the cover pages of its forms should be filed as Inline XBRL, with a range of identification information facilitating digital consumption.

The amendments are intended to:

• improve the readability,
• navigability of disclosure documents,
• discourage the repetition, and
• disclosure of immaterial information.

Ultimately, these changes provide a very useful way of reducing the costs and burdens on registrants while continuing to provide all the necessary material information to investors.
