The 2011-2012 GAAP Financial Statement Disclosures Manual provides a complete, quick, and valuable reference source for financial statement disclosures and key presentation requirements. TheGAAP Financial Statement Disclosures Manual (2011-2012) is now available in an eBook format which you can download to your computer instantly. Specifically, the Manual:

Provides over 750 examples of realistic sample footnote disclosures to assist in the preparation of financial statements for an audit, a review, or a compilation engagement.
Facilitates compliance with U.S. GAAP by integrating, in each chapter, the specific disclosure and key presentation requirements with the sample footnotes.
Provides sample disclosures that are technically sound, understandable, and comprehensive and that cover a variety of scenarios, from the most common to the most unusual.
Incorporates all currently effective accounting standards, including those that cover areas of unusual difficulty, such as financial instruments, fair value, business combinations, consolidation, income taxes, pensions, accounting changes, and variable interest entities.

All of the sample disclosures in the GAAP Financial Statement Disclosures Manual are included on the accompanying CD-ROM. Therefore, once you’ve identified the disclosure suited to your specific needs, you can simply select it from the CD-ROM, place it into your financial statements, then modify it as necessary. Also included is a financial statement disclosures checklist that provides a centralized resource of the required and recommended GAAP disclosures and key presentation items currently in effect, using the style referencing under the FASB Accounting Standards Codification as well as references to pre-Codification FASB literature. It is designed to assist the user in determining whether the required financial statement disclosures and key presentation matters have been addressed.

The GAAP Financial Statement Disclosures Manual is current through FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-01, Receivables (Topic 310): Deferral of the Effective Date of Disclosures about Troubled Debt Restructurings in Update No. 2010-20.
