Questions

What does PaymentsOfDividends mean in XBRL?

us-gaap:PaymentsOfDividends is the XBRL concept for “Payments of Dividends”. The taxonomy defines it as: Cash outflow in the form of capital distributions and dividends to common shareholders, preferred shareholders and noncontrolling interests.

Why do two companies use different revenue concepts?

Companies choose the most specific concept for what they report. Since ASC 606 many use RevenueFromContractWithCustomerExcludingAssessedTax rather than Revenues, so a cross-company revenue series has to check several concepts.

Why can the same period appear in several filings?

Comparative periods are repeated in later reports and sometimes restated. companyfacts keeps every observation with its accession number; this page shows the most recently filed value per period.
