The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) announced that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) accepted the 2024 GAAP Financial Reporting Taxonomy (GRT) and the 2024 SEC Reporting Taxonomy (SRT) (collectively referred to as the “GAAP Taxonomy”). The FASB also finalized the 2024 DQC Rules Taxonomy (DQCRT), which together with the GAAP Taxonomy are collectively referred to as the “FASB Taxonomies.”
The 2024 GRT contains updates for accounting standards and other recommended improvements, including those required for U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Release Nos. 33-11070; 34-95025 (annual reports for employee stock purchase, savings, and similar plans for Form 11-K), crypto assets, segment reporting, improvements to income tax disclosures, joint venture formations, and investments in tax credit structures.
The 2024 SRT contains improvements for dimensional elements whose underlying recognition and measurement are not specified by generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) but are commonly used by GAAP filers and for SEC schedules related to supplemental information.
In addition to the GAAP Taxonomy, the 2024 DQCRT has been finalized. The DQCRT is uniquely structured from the typical design of XBRL taxonomies because it is narrowly focused on conveying the XBRL US Data Quality Committee’s (DQC) validation rules, predominantly for regulator use. It is not intended to be used in SEC filers’ extension taxonomies, the way that the GRT or the SEC Document and Entity Information Taxonomy (DEI) is used.
The DQCRT contains a subset of the DQC rules. The FASB Taxonomy staff evaluates the validation rules for inclusion in the DQCRT that have been available for use for more than a year, with consideration for how the DQC addressed any feedback received on a validation rule. SEC details and guidance are available at the SEC Office of Structured Disclosure.
