Each financial reporting concept in the Taxonomy is an element or 'tag'. Elements in the taxonomy cover all US GAAP reporting requirements for both the primary financial statements (for example, the balance sheet) and the notes to the financial statements. Additionally, the Taxonomy provides elements that cover common financial reporting practices. A preparer's guide is available online or for download.
