The financial statements are the basic means of communicating financial information to all interested parties. These statements are the only source for assessing the performance of the enterprise for investors, lenders, suppliers, and others.

Therefore, financial statements and their accompanying foot-notes should completely disclose all relevant information of a material nature which relate to the profit and loss and the financial position of the business. This enables the users of the financial statements to make correct assessment about the profitability and financial soundness of the enterprise. It is therefore necessary that the disclosure should be full, fair and adequate.
