1.
FASB standards directly affect financial statements, notes to the financial statements, and
management’s discussion and analysis.
2.
The SEC requires that companies report to it certain substantive information that is not
found in their annual reports.
3.
Accounting policies are the specific accounting principles and methods a company uses
and considers most appropriate to present fairly its financial statements.
4.
In order to make adequate disclosure of related party transactions, companies should
report the legal form, rather than the economic substance, of these transactions.
5.
If the loss on an account receivable results from a customer’s bankruptcy after the
balance sheet date, the company only discloses this information in the notes to the
financial statements.
6.
FASB Statement 131 requires that general purpose financial statements include selected
information on a single basis of segmentation.
7.
The FASB requires allocations of joint, common, or company-wide costs for external
reporting purposes.
8.
If 10 percent or more of company revenue is derived from a single customer, the company
must disclose the total amount of revenue from each such customer by segment.
9.
Companies should report accounting transactions as they occur, and expense recognition
should not change with the period of time covered under the integral approach.
10.
Companies should generally use the same accounting principles for interim reports and
for annual reports.
11.
Companies report extraordinary items in interim reports by prorating them over the four
quarters.
12.
To compute the year-to-date tax, companies apply the estimated annual effective tax rate
to the year-to-date ordinary income at the end of each interim period.
13.

14.
A qualified opinion is issued when the exception to the standard opinion is not of sufficient
magnitude to invalidate the statements as a whole.
15.

enterprise’s business
-liquidity, profitability, and solvency.

A financial projection is a set of prospective financial statements that present a company’s
expected financial position and results of operations.
18.
The difference between a financial forecast and a financial projection is that a forecast
provides information on what is expected to happen, while a projection provides
information on what might take place.
19.
Fraudulent financial reporting is intentional or reckless conduct, whether act or omission,
that results in materially misleading financial statements.
20.
Influences in a company’s internal environment may relate to industry conditions, poor
internal control systems, or legal and regulatory considerations.
