How To Generate a Fact List

One of the things your auditor will likely ask for is a list of the taxonomy elements used in your report along with certain key information related to different elements.

Instead of having you create this list manually, the ParsePort Inspector allows you to generate and download it. This document is called fact list, and you can use it internally for analysis or send it to the auditors for review.

What is a fact list?

A fact list is a list of every taxonomy element used in your report along with information like label name, taxonomy name, unit, value, balance, period type, item type, decimals, scale, and the beginning end of the period.

The fact list includes the list of all the mappings, including the extensions. Please note that the elements associated with the company’s general data/notes that were tagged via hyperlinks in the visual part also fall under this list.
