🎬 The Big Reveal
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) just dropped the 2025 GAAP Financial Reporting Taxonomy (GRT), the SEC Reporting Taxonomy (SRT), and the GAAP Employee Benefit Plan Taxonomy (EBPT). These aren't just fancy names; they come with crucial updates for accounting standards, like disaggregation of income statement expenses and induced conversions of convertible debt instruments. Basically, if you're into numbers, this is your new playground.
📈 What's New?
The 2025 SRT now includes elements not specified by GAAP but commonly used by GAAP filers. Think of it as getting those extra toppings on your financial reporting pizza. The EBPT has updates specifically for SEC Release Nos. 33–11070; 34–95025, which includes requirements for XBRL tagging of annual reports for employee stock purchase plans. If you're filing SEC Form 11-K, this is your new best friend.
🔍 Dive Deep with DQCRT and MMT
The DQC Rules Taxonomy (DQCRT) is a bit of a different beast. It's focused on the XBRL US Data Quality Committee's validation rules. While it's not for SEC filers' extension taxonomies, it serves as a regulatory compass. Meanwhile, the GAAP Meta Model Relationships Taxonomy (MMT) is like having a treasure map for accounting model information. It helps preparers and data users alike by providing additional relationship information.
