For those who still aren't ready for the XBRL reporting mandate, the Securities and Exchange Commission has announced a public seminar on June 10 to help companies and preparers comply with new rules that require financial reports to be filed using XBRL.

The Commission staff will present information about the technology requirements for complying with the rules and will also provide an overview of the tools and information provided by the SEC to assist with compliance, according to the SEC press release.

Under the SEC's final rule, public companies with a worldwide public float of $5 billion or higher required to comply with the mandate starting with their June 15, 2009, quarter. Other large accelerated filers must comply starting with their June 15, 2010, quarter, and all other public companies and foreign private issuers have to comply starting with their June 15, 2011, fiscal quarter.

The seminar will also cover frequently asked questions about the rules and technology requirements. As such, the staff is seeking suggested questions and topics to be discussed at the seminar. Interested parties can e-mail questions to Ask-OID@sec.gov with "Public Education Seminar" as the subject line.

The event, which will be held at the SEC's headquarters, is open to the public with seating on a first-come, first-served basis and will be Webcast on the SEC Website.
