The Fast, Easy Way to Comply with the SEC Mandate
Interactive data mandate
The EZ Start XBRL Translation Service is a comprehensive solution to address the Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) Interactive Data Initiative. Under the SEC's proposed rules, all mutual fund companies would provide the Commission with a new exhibit with their risk/return summary information in interactive data format. Initial- and post-effective registration statements, with an effectiveness date after December 31, 2009, would be required to file a follow up post-effective amendment (485BPOS) within 15 days of the effectiveness date of that registration statement.

Unmatched experience
RR Donnelley is the established leader in XBRL filings, having assisted more of the participants in the SEC voluntary filing program than all other full service providers. Partnering with Microsoft®, we have designed the EZ Start solution with a focus on making the adoption of interactive data seamless for our clients.

Industry leading full service solution
With EZ Start, RR Donnelley offers a fast, simple way to comply with these new regulatory requirements. Unlike alternative solutions, EZ Start does not require you to learn or install new software or familiarize yourself with the intricacies of tagging each item in your risk/return summary or financials. With the complexity of data tags in the approved taxonomies and specific steps required to create custom extensions, companies can quickly become overwhelmed by the self-tagging process. EZ Start completes this demanding task for you, supplying you a review document with the initial tagging already completed.

Summary requirements - SEC XBRL proposal

Timing and type of submission

  • Each XBRL risk/return submission would be required to be filed as a post-effective amendment under rule 485(b) of the Securities Act
  • The XBRL risk/return submission would be filed no later than 15 business days after the effective date of the related filing
Tagging requirements for the risk/return summary

  • The proposed rules would not alter the requirements to provide risk/return summary information with the traditional format filings
  • The tagging must be compliant with the SEC approved ICI risk/return taxonomy
  • The proposed rules would require interactive data tagging of a mutual fund's risk/return summary information, which is currently provided in Items 2 and 3 of Form N-1A
  • In November 2007, the Commission proposed to amend Form N-1A
  • The amendments, if adopted as proposed, would result in the risk/return summary information being contained in Items 2, 3, and 4 of Form N-1A
  • If the Commission adopts that proposal, they intend to apply any tagging rules they adopt to the items of amended Form N-1A that contain the information that is currently contained in Items 2 and 3
  • Risk/return voluntary filings can be transmitted up until the mandatory filing date
  • Mutual fund filers can still file their financial reports in the SEC voluntary filing program

Three easy steps

  1. Request an XBRL Translation: Provide RR Donnelley your prospectus or financial reports as you would normally submit them for an EDGAR filing. We return a mapping report in Microsoft Excel® or Word® format that contains your tagged data complete with any taxonomy definitions of the tag.
  2. Review your mapping results: After you review your preliminary XBRL mapping, you can submit any questions or edits to RR Donnelley. We will address your questions, make the necessary changes, perform a quality check, and provide an updated file for your review.
  3. Transmit to SEC: After you perform a final review and give your approval, RR Donnelley validates the HTML and XBRL files, performs an EDGAR test filing and then transmits your official filing to the SEC.
