Let me buttress some of the points raised above. "Accounting disclosure": It is a process of preparing and presenting financial report showing the accounting policies, basis, and principles (GAAPs) adopted.  This is to enable the users to have adequate information that will help them in making investment decisions.

An accounting disclosure is a statement released by a company, business, or corporation that identifies the financial strategies that are being used and reveals things like costs and profits for a certain calendar period. The main purpose of this sort of document is to inform both current and potential investors of the accounting strategies and methods used. These financial statements include, but are not limited to, the balance sheet, the statement of cash flows, the income statement, and the statement of stockholders’ equity. The full disclosure principle of most legal systems requires that any event that would have an impact on the financial statements should be revealed, and the laws of many countries set out specific guidelines for both how and when disclosures need to be made. Companies often release this sort of information in their annual reports.
