Thanks for inviting

The full disclosure principle states that you should include in an entity's financial statements all information that would affect a reader's understanding of those statements. The interpretation of this principle is highly judgmental, since the amount of information that can be provided is potentially massive. To reduce the amount of disclosure, it is customary to only disclose information about events that are likely to have a material impact on the entity's financial position or financial results

Examples:

The nature and justification of a change in accounting principle

  • The nature of a non-monetary transaction
  • The nature of a relationship with a related party with which the business has significant transaction volume
  • The amount of encumbered assets
  • The amount of material losses caused by the lower of cost or market rule
  • A description of any asset retirement obligations
  • The facts and circumstances causing goodwill impairment

Principle of Full Disclosure

The full disclosure principle states that information important enough to influence the decisions of an informed user of the financial statements should be disclosed. Depending on its nature, companies should disclose this information either in the financial statements, in notes to the financial statements, or in supplemental statements. In judging whether or not to disclose information, it is better to err on the side of too much disclosure rather than too little. Many lawsuits against CPAs and their clients have resulted from inadequate or misleading disclosure of the underlying facts. A good rule to follow is—if in doubt, disclose. Another good rule is—if you are not consistent, disclose all the facts and the effect on income.

To be free from bias, information must be sufficiently complete to ensure that it validly represents underlying events and conditions. Completeness means disclosing all significant information in a way that aids understanding and does not mislead. Firms can reduce the relevance of information by omitting information that would make a difference to users.

Disclose all the information and details of whether they are needed or not. This type of disclosure may not benefit the user information even if the check as the multitude of details that are not important may confuse the user information does not help him to take the right decision at the right time
