“What’s New in Financial Reporting: Financial Statement Notes from Annual Reports” by Mark P. Holtzmann is a study that compiles disclosures from 2006 annual reports to showcase how companies addressed accounting issues recently introduced by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The study focuses on four key accounting areas where significant variation in disclosures was observed:
The author selected disclosures that employed innovative techniques to clearly address complex accounting issues, steering clear of generic, boilerplate language that offers minimal company-specific information. This resource serves dual purposes for financial executives: as a quick update on recent trends and as a reference tool for tackling challenging reporting issues. Additionally, all financial statement footnotes gathered for this study have been posted on the Financial Executives International website.
