About 5 years ago I made an XBRL viewer. In a ton of reports I tested the data did not match the paper reports. After ruling out bugs in my own software I went as far as emailing a few companies investor relations departments and never got a response.

I hope things have improved in the years since but I doubt it. Nobody looks at the XBRL its just a regulatory box tick.
