Crossfire Preparer - Product Overview

Crossfire Preparer fully supports the US-GAAP 2009 XBRL Taxonomy

On April 21, 2009, XBRL US released the 2009 edition of the SEC accepted US-GAAP taxonomy for XBRL (interactive data tags). In the third quarter of Fiscal Year 2009, it is anticipated that EDGAR Release 9.15.2 will upgrade to 2009 US GAAP Taxonomy from the existing US GAAP Taxonomy and that the US GAAP Beta 2.0 Taxonomy will no longer be supported. Refer to the Edgar Manual for more details.

Crossfire Preparer is a web-delivered collaborative document conversion and XBRL tagging solution

This is the solution designed to shield preparers from the complexity of XBRL. Many potential filers are concerned by the daunting XBRL learning curve, and the consequential time and effort required to prepare Interactive Data filings. Crossfire Preparer provides a friendly drag and drop environment that is comfortable for non-technical users.

Crossfire Preparer separates the roles of template designer (usually a technical analyst who understands XBRL concepts and taxonomies) and document preparer (usually a non-technical accountant or admin person). The document preparer, who will become the regular user of the templates, is never exposed to XBRL concepts such as taxonomies, elements, or dimensions. In order to keep the creation and filing process as simple as possible, Crossfire Preparer has a feature that uses web based workflow. This feature controls the movement of documents between people and from one period to another. It also provides a comprehensive audit trail by tracking changes to all documents.

Crossfire Preparer employs a new and unique user interface, but much of its internal processing is powered by Dragon Tag. This foundation provides Crossfire Preparer with the maturity and stability of a widely used and well-tested product.

Crossfire Preparer is designed for any business that needs to manage compliance with SEC XBRL filing requirements. Crossfire Preparer supports every stage of the compliance process including:

  • Getting the latest taxonomy and keeping it updated.
  • Adding taxonomy extensions (but only if you must) to accommodate business-specific quirks.
  • Designing a tagging template to suit your financial statement formats.
  • Tagging your set of financial statements by drag-and-tag.
  • Checking that the tags you are using are appropriate by comparing your use to that of other SEC filers.
  • Reviewing your filing pre-submission to make sure the numbers and presentation looks right.
  • Submitting your filing to the SEC.
  • Publishing your filing to your website so all your information stakeholders can view it.
