Schechter and co-presenter Gregg Saunders, lead taxonomist at XBRL US, will be emphasizing the ever-importance of quality and preventing errors.

Essential points to be discussed include:

• Avoiding the causes of common errors
• Units and the Power-of-Ten Scale

• How calculation, definition and presentation linkbases are extremely useful
• Expressing time in XBRL using dates, durations and proper date contexts
• Senior level review considerations

After his presentation, Schechter and other Vintage XBRL specialists will be offering conference attendees one-on-one insight and demonstrations in Vintage's exhibit booth.
