The SEC has adopted rule amendments to require electronic filing or submission of certain forms as well as other filings, submissions, or notices provided by broker-dealers, security-based swap dealers, and major security-based swap participants under the Exchange Act and the Securities Act to be submitted to the EDGAR system using machine-readable, structured data. Accordingly, the SEC has released a draft version of the Broker-Dealers (BKD) XBRL Taxonomy.
Specifically, the adopted rule amendments now require broker-dealers to file annual reports on Form X-17A-5 Part III under Rule 17a-5 and Rule 17a-12 in Inline XBRL except for the facing page. The elements needed to tag these disclosures are in this new draft Broker-Dealers (BKD) taxonomy. For more information about the rule, please see Rule 33-11342.

Interested parties may email related technical feedback to StructuredData@sec.gov through 4 p.m. (ET) May 6, 2025, with “Draft 2025 BKD Taxonomy” as the subject. The SEC will make the feedback received publicly available by posting them to the Draft Taxonomy Technical Feedback page.
