How does Finrep help with 10-K and 10-Q drafting?

Finrep supports SEC Reporting, Technical Accounting, Legal Counsel, Investor Relations, Disclosure Committee, CFO and Controller, Tax Team, and ESG Reporting functions.

How is relevance determined?

Against your defined ASC and IFRS topic positions. Guidance touching topics you have active positions in is flagged. Guidance that does not touch your positions is filtered out.

What does an applicability read include?

What the item is, which of your positions it touches, applicability conclusion, and action required (comment period response, adoption planning, policy update, or no action).

How quickly are alerts delivered after issuance?

At issuance or board action. Comment period alerts delivered with enough lead time to prepare a response if relevant.

Does it track early adoption windows?

Yes. Early adoption eligibility and window surfaced with each final standard alert.

Can I update my topic positions?

Yes. Add or remove ASC and IFRS topics as your entity's position changes. Monitoring adjusts immediately.

Does it cover SEC comment letter patterns?

Yes. Shifts in SEC Staff comment letter focus on specific ASC topics flagged as a guidance monitoring alert with applicability read.

Guidance Monitoring

Guidance monitoring keeps a technical accounting team current with FASB, IASB, and SEC Staff activity without reading every board agenda. Finrep filters standard-setter output to the ASC and IFRS topics you have positions in, delivering an applicability read on each exposure draft, final ASU, and Staff interpretation before the comment period closes.

Today's reality

Guidance Monitoring without Finrep

Standard-setter output monitored manually or through generic email digests with no applicability filter
Exposure drafts discovered after comment periods close, eliminating the opportunity to respond
Final ASUs identified during audit prep rather than planning cycle
No applicability read connecting new guidance to existing entity positions

Technical Accounting · Ongoing

The comment period closed. Your team found out a week later.

FASB, IASB, and the SEC Staff produce guidance continuously. Exposure drafts, tentative decisions, final ASUs, Staff interpretations, and comment letter patterns. Reading all of it to find the subset that touches your positions is a full-time job the technical accounting team does not have.

The result is that teams engage with guidance reactively: they learn about a relevant exposure draft after the comment period closes, or discover an effective ASU during audit preparation rather than during the planning cycle that precedes it.

With Finrep

Automated workflow

FASB, IASB, and SEC Staff output filtered to your specific ASC and IFRS topic positions
Exposure drafts flagged before comment periods close with applicability read and response window
Final ASUs surfaced at issuance with effective date and transition implications
Applicability read delivered per item: relevant or not relevant, and why

From standard-setter activity to filtered applicability reads in four steps

Define your topic positions

Enter your entity's ASC and IFRS topic positions: revenue recognition, lease accounting, business combinations, income taxes, financial instruments, or any other active accounting areas.

Finrep monitors standard-setter output

FASB board agendas, exposure drafts, tentative decisions, final ASUs, IASB activity, and SEC Staff interpretations monitored continuously. Output filtered against your topic positions.

Receive applicability reads

Each relevant item delivered with: what it is (exposure draft, final standard, Staff interpretation), which of your positions it touches, applicability conclusion, and action required (respond to comment period, plan adoption, update policy).

Act before the window closes

Comment period deadlines, effective dates, and early adoption windows surfaced with each alert. The team acts on information before the opportunity to influence or plan is gone.

What changes when guidance arrives filtered, not raw

Three standard-setter coverage

FASB board activity (agenda decisions, exposure drafts, tentative board decisions, final ASUs), IASB activity (discussion papers, exposure drafts, final IFRS standards), and SEC Staff activity (Staff Accounting Bulletins, Corp Fin interpretations, comment letter patterns). All three monitored continuously, not on a publication schedule.

Topic position filtering

Output filtered against your specific ASC and IFRS topic positions. An exposure draft on FASB's hedging project is not delivered to a team with no derivative positions. A Staff interpretation on ASC 606 variable consideration is flagged immediately for a team with usage-based revenue. Signal, not noise.

Applicability read per item

Every relevant item delivered with an applicability conclusion: does this change your current position, does it require a policy update, does it open an early adoption option, or does it require a comment letter response. The read is specific to your positions, not a generic summary of the guidance.

Comment period and effective date tracking

Comment period deadlines, board meeting dates, effective dates, and early adoption windows tracked per item. Delivered with each alert so the team knows the action window before engaging with the content.
