One of the most interesting developments of recent years for reporting nerds has been the adoption of XBRL by the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) for disclosures by energy utilities. In Q3 it completed its transition to XBRL, activating its new Forms portal and ceasing to accept submissions in the legacy Visual FoxPro system.
Recent days have seen a number of important updates from the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), as it implements its switch to XBRL-based reporting for energy utilities.
The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is continuing its trailblazing transition to XBRL-based reporting for energy utilities.

In January 2019 the US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) published a proposal to swap from Visual FoxPro based e-forms to an XBRL-based data collection system. After a comment period, FERC have now announced that the proposal has passed. The switch recognizes that XBRL is purpose built for reporting, and will make filing easier, more accurate and […]
