Step-by-Step Review Workflow

Work through a filing in the order below.

  1. Confirm document setup. Verify the five required DEI cover tags are present and correct: Document Type, Entity Registrant Name, Entity Inv Company Type, Document Period End Date, and Prospectus Date.
  2. Open the iXBRL draft alongside the prospectus. Review section by section —Objectives, Fees and Expenses, Strategy, Risks, Performance — comparing each rendered value to the prospectus it was tagged from.
  3. Check presence against frequency. Within each section, confirm that Required and Very common tags appear wherever the corresponding disclosure exists. Treat a missing Occasional or Rare tag as expected unless the underlying disclosure is present in the prospectus.
  4. Verify risk section. Each risk paragraph is tagged and the risk name matches each corresponding risk.
  5. Confirm every numeric and data value. Cross-check tagged amounts, percentages, and dates — management fees, 12b-1 fees, net expenses, expense-example years, annual and average annual returns, yields, and inception dates — against the rendered fee and performance tables and against the prospectus.
  6. Scan for orphans and duplicates. Check for cut off paragraphs or extra paragraphs in tags.

Tag Reference — OEF 2026

The full reference table available in the PDF lists every tag in the OEF 2026 taxonomy relevant to a Form N-1A registration statement, grouped and ordered as they render in an iXBRL draft. Each tag carries a frequency rating that tells you how often it should appear, so you can quickly distinguish an omission from a tag that does not apply.
