II. Sessions and Highlights
TAG discussed DRAFT 2013 plan for the XBRL team and reviewed ASU integration, data quality improvements,
goal of stability, outreach efforts and change management requirements. Further actions are to set priorities,
assign responsibilities and timing.
Session 1 - DRAFT 2013 XBRL Plan
A. DRAFT 2013 XBRL Plan
B. Meeting Highlights
DRAFT XBRL plan for 2013 was reviewed along with a process to evaluate workflows. The status of the
Implementation Guides and Accounting Standards Updates were also reviewed and further discussion on certain
issues within the Segment guide will be required. An issue regarding category of legal entity was discussed.

Session 2 - Workflow Criteria
A. Issue
In the interests of promoting stability in the taxonomy, a process for evaluating workflows was proposed for
comment. The criteria for change include materiality and cost/benefit considerations.
B. Workflow Chart Decision Tree
FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING STANDARDS BOARD

C. Meeting Highlights
TAG members were shown a draft of the workflow decision tree with a brief walkthrough of the steps involved.
The document is still in draft and certain terms and phrases are still being worked out. Further action to refine
the criteria for decision points regarding materiality, cost/benefit analysis, and list of known areas were not
addressed. An update will be provided at a future TAG meeting.

Session 3 - Legal Entity/Consolidation Axis
A. Issue
The legal entity axis is used for the name of the entity and for the type of entity such as consolidated, joint
venture, and partnership interest. What is the impact to users of the data? Is it helpful to know whether an entity
is included in the consolidation or not?
B. Meeting Highlights
Discussions indicate that the information to separate these concepts is valuable. The Legal Entity [Axis] is part of
the dei group and cannot be altered by the FASB XBRL team. Further research will be needed to determine if this
is a significant issue and the best course of action.

Session 4 - Implementation Guides
A. Segments
1. “SegmentImplementationGuide_02082013” version has been updated based on the feedback and suggestion
received from TAG during the TAG comment period (ends January 25th).
2. The XBRL team would like to solicit the TAG’s input regarding the two issues below that were raised by TAG
members:
a. “Example 5—Reconciliation of Segment Revenue by Geographic Area” provides preparers a more
complicated segment modeling structure of “Geographical [Axis]” – the geographic information further
broken down by segments. The goal is that when filers model a simplified disclosure, they can interpret
the appropriate modeling structure based on this example. Comments have been submitted by TAG
members that additional examples may be helpful in terms of clarifying the preferred usage of
“Geographical [Axis]” and/or “Segments [Axis]” and their members. Suggested disclosures have been
proposed such as 1) consolidated company information by geography or 2) a company’s segments are the
same as its geographies (e.g. segment A is Asia Pacific, segment B is EMEA).
Do you think additional modeling examples of segment geographic disclosures will be helpful? If yes,
what disclosure you would like to be included in the Segment Implementation Guide?
b. “Example 3—Reconciliation of Segment Profit (Loss)” illustrates the modeling of reconciliation of segment
profit (loss) to the entity's consolidated income. Questions have been raised by TAG members that if
there were no segment reconciling items in the table and it was just the fact values of Segment A. B and C
and then a total that matches the Income statement, should companies still use the “Operating Segments
Member” under the “Consolidation Items Axis” in addition to the extended segment members for the
Segment A, B and C? For above identified disclosure, only extended segment members together with
“Segment [Axis]” would be required – no “Consolidation Items [Axis]” needed since there were no
components or eliminations used in consolidating a parent entity and its subsidiaries or its operating
segments. Same modeling ideas apply to “Example 7—Revenue Disclosure Broken Down by Operating
Segment and Subsegment”.
Do you agree with this modeling clarification? If not, why?
c. Is there any other comment or question regarding this Segment Implementation Guide you want to
discuss or need clarification?
3. Next step: Segment Implementation Guide is currently under SEC review. We will post the latest version on
the FASB website once the review process is complete and initiate the public comment period.
B. Other Implementation Guides in Draft Form
The TAG also had the opportunity to review the Other Comprehensive Income, and Insurance guides.

C. Meeting Highlights
These documents will be available on the FASB website after the TAG’s comments have been processed. See http://www.fasb.org/jsp/FASB/Page/SectionPage&cid=1176160665046.
TAG members expressed support for inclusion of additional examples of segment geographic disclosure into the
implementation guide in order to provide guidance in terms of the preferred usage of “Geographical [Axis]”
and/or “Segments [Axis].” For example, suggested disclosure could include a scenario where a company’s
operating segment is identified by geographic area, i.e., Asia or North America. In addition, similar examples
using the “Products and Services [Axis]” and/or “Segments [Axis]” that include sub-segments were proposed by
TAG members as well. Segment Implementation Guide will be updated based on above feedback/suggestion
before posting on FASB website for public comment.
The XBRL team provided TAG a status update and overview of the drafts for Other Comprehensive Income, and
two Insurance Implementation Guides. The TAG was reminded that their comments on the guides are due
March 6th and March 8th, respectively.
The XBRL team also solicited input regarding any specific issues related to Oil and Gas and or Fair Value to be
included in the subject Implementation Guides. The TAG had no specific issues that they wanted addressed.
