Review the source tables and verify that:
- Financial data is complete and up to date.

Tag the primary financial statements
Apply taxonomy concepts to the financial statements using the taxonomy browser.
Typically, this includes:

- Statement of Financial Position
- Statement of Comprehensive Income
- Statement of Cash Flows
- Statement of Changes in Equity
Ensure that the selected taxonomy concepts accurately represent the reported figures.
Apply containers, concepts, and members
Configure the XBRL structure of the report by assigning the required concepts, dimensions, members, and other taxonomy elements.
Depending on the taxonomy, additional dimensional structures may be required to correctly classify disclosures.
Review all mappings carefully to ensure that facts are reported in the correct context.
Tag disclosures and notes
