Through the Great Depression and the current recession, despite the Enron and Arthur Andersen meltdowns and a slew of legislation, the balance sheet - an indicator of a company's health - has remained unchanged. But in the name of transparency, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, which establishes standards for the U.S. accounting profession, has proposed overhauling the structure of balance sheets.
Financial reporting of organizational performance is facilitated primarily through financial statements and the related supplemental disclosures found in the annual report or Form 10-K. Standardized financial statements, such as the income statement, balance sheet and statement of cash flows, are mostly uniform in format and thus provide for inter-firm comparisons of various financial metrics. This "boilerplate" format provides for simple "net income" or "current assets" comparisons between firms given the uniformity of the content contained within each financial statement; however, there are supplemental disclosures contained within these reports that should provide additional information to illuminate and thereby enhance the financial statement content.

An operating lease, or an "off balance sheet lease," acts more like a rental. This means the payment does not appear on the company balance sheet. When the term expires, companies may continue to lease the equipment on a month to month basis or short fixed term, return the equipment, or purchase it at FMV. Because the lessor takes residual position in the equipment and is also considered the owner for tax purposes, the monthly lease payments are usually much lower than a capital lease.

The grace period for delaying the first-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) is elapsing for companies that are publicly traded in European Union (EU) and non-EU jurisdictions and that already report under US GAAP. This means that many US companies that operate in the EU and delayed IFRS adoption to a fiscal year starting on or after January 2007 will have to report in at least two comprehensive bases of accounting. Dual reporting -- designing accounting systems for compliance with multiple reporting bases -- permits accounting firms to offer more efficient results than the traditional, and costly, reconciliation approach. The layout of the statement of financial position differs under US GAAP and IFRS. CPAs should be aware of the implications and plan for...
