On November 15th, the XBRL US Center for Data Quality (DQC) announced the opening of the 17th public exposure period for review and comment on eight new automated checks, including modifications to rules for filers using the US GAAP or IFRS taxonomies. The DQC rulesets are intended to improve the accuracy and integrity of XBRL financial reports that use these taxonomies. {expires: 2022-01-01}
The comment period will remain open until December 31, 2021. Interested parties may submit comments related to the rules by using the general feedback form on xbrl.us. Generally, rules are considered for approval within 45 days of the close of the comment period and should be implemented in all filings within 90 days of approval.
The following DQC rules are included in the review of version 17:
DQC_0125 (Lease Cost Cannot be Negative (US GAAP))
Lease costs can be negative in those cases where the lease is subleased to another party and the sublease income exceeds the lease cost. This rule identifies those cases where the lease cost is negative and no Sublease Income is reported.
DQC_0126 (FS Calculation Check with Non Dimensional Data (US GAAP, IFRS))
This rule identifies those cases where the calculations defined for the face financial statements in the company provided calculation linkbase do not match the actual values reported. The rule works through every element in the statement and checks if it has any calculation children. If present, the check takes the values of the children in the default and ensures that they add to the parent value. Statement of Changes in Shareholders Equity is not covered.
DQC_0127 (Incorrect Dimensional Item Used on Financial Statements (US GAAP, IFRS))
This rule identifies those cases where the dimensional structures defined for the face financial statements in the company provided definition linkbase do not match the actual values reported. Statement of Changes in Shareholders Equity is not covered.
DQC_0128 (Dimensional Values Larger than the Default (US GAAP, IFRS))
The rule identifies a list of dimensions that should not have negative values and determines if any of the dimensionalized monetary values are greater than the default value. This uses the same list of elements used by rule 15 for validating negative items. The rule only checks dimensionalized values that appear on specific listed axes.
DQC_0129 (Dimensional Equivalents IFRS (IFRS))
This rule evaluates whether a fact expressed with no dimensions is equal to the same fact expressed in a table with dimensions. In addition, this rule determines if the dimensional value should be the inverse of the same value represented as a line item.
DQC_0130 (Earnings Per Share Calculation IFRS (IFRS))
This rule evaluates if the value reported for earnings per share metrics matches the value calculated from its components.
DQC_0131 (Lease Allocation in Balance Sheet (US GAAP))
This rule detects of the value of a lease reported in the footnotes is greater than the balance sheet line item.
DQC_0132 (Operating Lease Amortization (US GAAP))
This rule identifies when an extension element is used instead of the standard element for OperatingLeaseRightOfUseAssetAmortizationExpense, which was added to the 2020 US GAAP taxonomy.
