Tracking Companies Filing Interactive Data with the US

The best way to track companies filing xbrl data with the SEC is by using the RSS feed they have made available. Unfortunately it only provides the last 100 filings. The inability to search for all xbrl filings is an amazing shortcoming in the SEC's new search interface called the Next Generation System. Why the SEC did not provide the ability to search out all xbrl filings is a complete mystery. They could have done it easily, just like SEDAR does. Here's a link to the RSS Feed.

There is an expectation that a number of cross-listed Canadian companies will be filing. Some are required to since they meet the first round requirements of market cap of $5 billion or more and the use of US GAAP. So far, we have noticed Tim Hortons and CN Rail.
