EDGAR Filer Manual (Volume II) EDGAR Filing (Version 13)
Updated: October 26, 2009
EDGAR Filer Manual (Volume II), EDGAR Filing, focuses entirely on the filing process. It illustrates each step of the process to submit an electronic submission and helps filers understand the tools provided by the SEC for constructing and transmitting those submissions. This volume is intended to be a reference for those that are responsible for submitting filings to the SEC via the EDGAR system.
Volume II was revised to support:
- EDGAR was upgraded to enforce additional XBRL validation requirements to improve the quality of XBRL exhibits. This change will enhance the validation process the EDGAR system uses to confirm compliance with the requirements in Chapter 6 of the EDGAR Filer Manual, Volume II: “EDGAR Filing”.
- Minor Form D Changes.
- Filers will be able to electronically submit the withdrawal of an application for exemptive or other relief from the federal securities laws as submission types APP WD and amendments as APP WD/A on the EDGARLink Submission Template 3.
- Forms F-6, F-6/A, F-6EF, and F-6 POS will now allow filers to add Subject Company related information. All banks representing American Depository Receipts should obtain their own EDGAR access codes and file these forms using their CIK and the Subject Company’s CIK. These submission types are available on EDGARLink Submission Template 1 which should be downloaded to ensure that filings are filed successfully.
