List financial-statement restatements — facts a later SEC filing materially changed (>0.5% swing) from what was originally reported. Each event carries the as-reported value, the restated value, the signed delta, a severity bucket, the RAW XBRL tag both filings used (the diff is same-tag, so it is apples-to-apples and checkable), both filings' accession numbers for one-click lineage, an analyst-importance tier (1 headline / 2 statement line / 3 footnote), the fact's rank within the company's restatement history, and — crucially — HOW the company told the market (disclosure_class): non_reliance (it filed an 8-K Item 4.02 telling the SEC not to rely on its prior financials), amended (a 10-K/A or 10-Q/A), or undisclosed (the number changed inside a routine 10-Q/10-K — no amendment, no 4.02). About 94% of events are undisclosed: most numbers that change, change quietly. undisclosed is a statement about the FILING CHAIN, not about the filer's intent — adopting a new accounting standard (ASC 606, ASC 842) legitimately restates prior comparatives with nobody doing anything wrong. Do NOT describe these as fraud, concealment, or wrongdoing. Filter by ticker, sector, severity, minimum swing, importance, disclosure class, or filing date; sort by recency (default) or significance; paginate with the returned cursor. Public data — available on every tier. Provenance: derived from SEC EDGAR filings; verify any figure with verify_fact_lineage.
Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| event_id | string | no | Fetch exactly one event by its id (from a prior response). |
| ticker | string | no | Restrict to one company — ticker (e.g. 'AAPL') or CIK (e.g. '0000320193'). |
| sector | string | no | Restrict to one GICS-style sector (e.g. 'Technology'). |
| severity | string | no | high = |Δ|≥10%, medium = ≥2%, low = ≥0.5%. |
| min_abs_delta_pct | number | no | Only events whose absolute restatement is at least this percent (e.g. 5 = ≥5% swings). |
| max_importance | integer | no | Only lines at or above this importance tier: 1 = headline only (revenue, net income, EPS, total assets, operating cash flow), 2 = + primary statement lines, 3 = everything incl. footnotes. Severity says how far a number moved; importance says whether anyone cares. |
| amendments_only | boolean | no | Only restatements that arrived in an AMENDED filing (10-K/A, 10-Q/A) — the company formally telling the SEC it got a number wrong. The sharpest cut there is: it separates real restatements from routine re-files (a next-year 10-K carrying a revised comparative). |
| disclosure | array | no | Filter by HOW the company told the market. 'non_reliance' = it filed an 8-K Item 4.02 ('Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements') — formally telling the SEC not to rely on what it already reported. The loudest signal in US disclosure, and rare. 'amended' = corrected in a 10-K/A or 10-Q/A. 'undisclosed' = the value changed inside a ROUTINE 10-Q or 10-K: no amendment, no 4.02, the old number is simply gone. ~94% of events. Anyone can parse an 8-K, so anyone can list what companies ANNOUNCED; finding what they didn't requires every vintage back to 1993. |
| filed_since | string | no | Only restatements FILED on or after this date — the 'what changed recently' window. |
| sort | string | no | 'recent' = newest restating filing first (a market-wide radar). 'significance' = importance tier, then swing size (one company's history). |
| limit | integer | no | Page size (1-100, default 25). |
| cursor | string | no | Opaque pagination cursor from a prior response's next_cursor. |
