2-1 Short Paper: Footnotes
Key Elements
Information typically included in footnotes is the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, and Common Notes (Major Disclosures). Footnotes can contain important information pertaining to accounting methodologies used for recording and reporting transactions. Major Disclosures are mentioned below. For example, additional notes needed on contingencies and commitments are not uncommon in addition to inventory and revenue explanatory notes. Companies know what information they need to include in their financial statement footnotes because it is specified by GAAP under the full disclosure principle. This principle states that companies should disclose information that can have a material impact on a company’s financial results or financial position. In Chapter 23, it mentions that it is important for companies to stay up to date with the latest SEC rules and guidance regarding disclosures. By
doing so, companies will always be updated and informed about what needs to be included in their footnotes. Purpose
Footnotes are used as additional information and are considered explanatory notes to the financial statements that help add supplementary information. Footnotes, also known as Notes, are “the means of amplifying or explaining the items presented in the main body of the statements,” (Soomo 2020). They help give a complete picture of a company’s financial statements by explaining in more depth what the financial statements convey. They report the details and additional information that is left out of the main financial statements. It is imperative
that these notes are transparent and as accurate as possible.
