Disclosure Management in Narrative Reporting

Disclosure Management in Narrative Reporting supports three use cases:

  • Open Taxonomies, such as those under SEC jurisdiction (for example, US-GAAP) where the taxonomies are extendible: Enables you to design and manage your extended taxonomies using Taxonomy Designer.

  • Closed Taxonomies, such as those under IFRS jurisdiction, where the taxonomies are not extendible: Enables you to register a downloaded taxonomy and then map the elements to the appropriate data values in your Disclosure Management report and doclets.

  • High Volume Auto-tagging capability for certain South American regulator reporting performed via a regulator-provided template (an Excel flat file w/ multiple worksheets). Disclosure Management in Narrative Reporting can automatically tag this template and greatly reduce the filing effort.

Using Disclosure Management with Narrative Reporting

Narrative Reporting is lightly integrated with Disclosure Management. There are two supported scenarios:

  • Creating your document in Narrative Reporting :

    • Create your document in Narrative Reporting with leading-edge workflow, audit, reporting, and data source capabilities.

    • Export your completed and signed –off documents to the Disclosure Management region of Narrative Reporting for regulatory reporting preparation, including taxonomy preparation, mapping, validation, and EDGAR and XBRL instance creation.

  • Creating your document in Disclosure Management :

    • Create your documents within the Disclosure Management region of Narrative Reporting utilizing Disclosure Management capabilities in data source connectivity via Smart View or other ERP sources.

    • Complete the regulatory reporting preparation, including taxonomy preparation, mapping, validation, and EDGAR and XBRL instance creation.

Note:

In either scenario, the work of mapping, tagging, validation, and instance creation takes place within Disclosure Management. If you export a tagged doclet from Disclosure Management and import it back into Narrative Reporting as a doclet, you will lose the tagging information.
