I am based in South Africa and I have access to the published financial statements of JSE listed companies. I would like to have access to the published financial statements of US companies, as well as companies of countries that make use of IFRS. Which data repository can I use to download these financial statements.
There are several data repositories that you can use to access the published financial statements of US companies and companies of countries that make use of IFRS. Some of the popular options include:
✓ EDGAR (Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval) - This is a free database maintained by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that provides access to financial reports, including annual and quarterly reports, of publicly traded companies in the US. You can search for specific companies and download their financial statements in various formats.
✓ XBRL US - This is a non-profit organization that provides access to financial data in XBRL format, which is a standardized format for financial reporting. It offers a searchable database of US public company financial statements, as well as tools for data analysis.
✓ Financial Times - The Financial Times offers a subscription-based service that provides access to financial statements and other financial data for companies around the world. The service includes both current and historical financial data and allows users to download the data in various formats.
When choosing a data repository, it's important to consider factors such as cost, data format, and the level of detail provided in the financial statements
Thank you Ajit Singh for the answer. Which repository would you recommend is best for bulk downloads: in other words for all the companies in a sector over a number of years?
Thank you.
Eduard Toerien which repository are you using for JSE Listed Companies?
