Overview
This Section establishes recognition and disclosure standards for events subsequent to the financial statement date. Financial statements are prepared to reflect the financial position at a particular date and the operating results and cash flows for a period ended on that date. However, events occurring after the financial statement date may indicate a need to adjust items or to make specific disclosures in those statements. Therefore, in preparing financial statements, the implications and financial effects of subsequent events would be considered.
