and also: I need a guideline of Full Disclosure paper" Answer Q2 in ch 24 -Explain the need for full disclosure in financial report. Identify possible consequences o failing to properly disclose certain items in financial statement

The full disclosure principle in accounting calls for reporting in financial statements any financial facts significant enough to influence the judgment of an informed reader. Disclosure has increased because of the complexity of the business environment, the necessity for timely information, and the desire for more information on the enterprise for control and monitoring purposes.

Therefore, failure to properly disclose certain items in the financial statements would influence the judgment of the company’s stakeholders which is an ethical concern. Companies who did not fully disclose all items such as Enron was charged of fraud; it must also be noted that the chief significance of financial statement data is not so much in the absolute amounts presented but in their relative significance; that is, in the conclusions reached after comparing each item with similar items and after association with related data. Financial statements present measures of quantity (this is not to exclude the qualitative aspects of things that dollar quantities reflect), but whether any amount is adequate or not in view of the company’s needs, or whether it represents an amount out of proportion to the company’s other amounts, or whether it represents an improvement over previous years that cannot be determined from the absolute amount alone.
