How we verify · 0 failures · 2 divergences in 70 reconciliationsAUDITED

Reconciled in 16 of the 18 fiscal years we could check. 2 of those reconciliations are divergences — the figures exist but don't fit the formula this check expects; that isn't the same as an error. Four checks were skipped: the balance sheet is not tagged before 2009. One check was skipped: EPS is not tagged before 2008.
