Software Vendors Focus Group (SVFG)

The Software Vendors Focus Group (SVFG) includes representatives from the current Call Report software vendors, Unisys, and banking agency staff. This focus group’s primary function is to coordinate the technical specifications, including the incorporation of XBRL into existing Call Report software. The SVFG meets regularly to clarify testing requirements and implementation plans.

Software vendors are working closely with the Agencies to enhance their software to address XBRL submission requirements and to allow banks to submit their Call Report data in the XBRL format.

New Call Report-based Taxonomies and System Specifications

Draft versions of the Call Report taxonomies have been developed using Specification 2.1 of XBRL. Extensions to the XBRL Specification and other guidance and examples can be found in the FFIEC’s CDR Interchange Specification. The FFIEC has created Call Report taxonomies beginning with the March 31, 2001 through June 30, 2005 Call Report dates.

These taxonomies share about 125 items (concepts) with the Bank and Savings Institutions (BASI) taxonomy, which follows U.S. GAAP-General Accepted Accounting Principles. The Call Report taxonomies include a common reference (data names that follow the Federal Reserve Board’s Microdata Reference Manual--MDRM) that incorporates presentation views, business rule formulas, and report instructions.
