Summary
The SEC is extending a rule that makes companies submit their financial info in a special, easy-to-use digital format called XBRL. This helps investors quickly understand and compare data, while companies keep filing the same info but in a smarter way. Around 8,200 companies will keep spending time on this, with no new costs or deadlines, just smoother data sharing continuing as usual.
