  • Description: The SEC has introduced a new accounting quality model, an automated system that uses registrants' data to detect fraud and other "accounting irregularities" in a faster, more efficient way. This new model uses XBRL tags of financial data included in SEC filings and creates risk scores for SEC staff to use in reviews of company filings and investigation activities. Models and metrics might assist SEC staff in reviewing registrant filings and other enforcement activities to combat fraud. The author's concern is that there is too much data and not enough analysis, and that registrants will have to defend their financial statement ratios in comment letters and SEC investigations.
