Capital IQ, a Standard & Poor's business that provides data and analytics for financial professionals, has launched a data collection technology that enables the intraday delivery of full financial statements, ratios and trading multiples sourced from earnings releases.

Capital IQ clients can now view fully standardised and auditable financials of companies trading on North American exchanges, including ADRs.

All financials are fully standardised using Capital IQ's collection taxonomy and methodology and are integrated within the Capital IQ platform.

Clients can access the full suite of financial statements, ratios, and multiples via Capital IQ's company financial pages, Charting, Screening, Excel Plug-In, and Web Services.

"Having access to comprehensive and accurate financial statements minutes after earnings releases is crucial to the workflow of any financial professional," says Randall Winn, executive managing director of Capital IQ. "With the new collection process in place, our client base can continue to work faster and generate better investment ideas by accessing financials in real time."
