The full disclosure principle, as stated in the text, calls for the financial documents, or statements, to report any financial facts significant enough, or material, that could influence the judgment of an informed reader (Kieso et al., 2022). This is important because leaving out any possible important information can be seen as swaying investors and stakeholders into believing a falsehood. For example, omitting the reason for a substantial increase in assets, like inventory purchased on credit, would make it seem like the business is doing better than it is seeing as there was a large jump in the assets although the liabilities also substantially increased.
Disclosing financial information to stakeholders in a variety of financial reporting situations ensures that all possible material information is distributed to stakeholders. For example, the balance sheet informs stakeholders of all the assets, liabilities, and equity while the statement of cash flows shows the stakeholders how the cash within the balance sheet was disbursed between the various activities of a business, namely operations, finances, or investment. Having a variety of financial reporting makes sure that the stakeholders understand exactly what is happening within a business and helps businesses remain honest and boosts and promotes credibility. Credibility within a business’ stakeholders could mean more stakeholders in the future as networking is prevalent among investors.
The codification section in the FASB for related-party transactions is 850-10-05 (
FASB Accounting Standards Codification®
, n.d.). Related-party transactions, as explained in the text, are transactions in which one party can greatly affect the policies of another party (Kieso et al., 2022). These such parties can be a parent company and its subsidiaries, the subsidiaries of a common parent, a company and the trusts for the benefits of employees (controlled or managed by the company), or a company and its principal owners, management, or members of immediate
families, and affiliates (Kieso et al., 2022). The type of information that is required, or important,
to disclose for related-party transactions would be the nature of the relationships involved, a description of the transactions and their dollar amounts for each period where income statements are presented, regardless of if the amount is zero or nominal in nature, and amounts due from or to related parties as of the date of each balance sheet presented (Kieso et al., 2022).
The codification section in the FASB for contingent liabilities is dependent on the type of contingent liabilities. For general contingent liabilities the codification section is 450-10-05, for loss contingent liabilities the codification section is 450-20-05, and for gain contingent liabilities the codification section is 450-30-05 (
FASB Accounting Standards Codification®
, n.d.). It is important to distinguish between these as each one means something different. A general idea would go with the first option. Whereas if a loss, for example the collectability of receivables, is in question, the second option would have the necessary information. But if the question is in regard to a gain contingent liability such as a pending lawsuit in favor of the company, then the final option would have the necessary information. The type of information that is required, or important, to disclose for contingencies is pertinent to whether it results in a gain or a loss for the
company. Contingencies are either a loss or a gain and it is important to distinguish between the two. For loss contingencies, a business must disclose it should disclose both the nature of the contingency and an estimate of the possible loss, presuming that the contingency falls under the probable and reasonably estimated criteria (Kieso et al., 2022). For gain contingencies, they need
only be disclosed if there is a high probability the gain will be realized, as in a high probability the company will receive any funds, in which case the amount would also need to be disclosed (Kieso et al., 2022).
The codification section in the FASB for subsequent events is 855-10-15 (
FASB Accounting Standards Codification®
, n.d.). Subsequent events, also called post-balance-sheet events, are
