Whether you read Form 10-K reports or write them, the Form 10-K report is one of the most significant documents that a publicly-traded company issues. For the investor, Form 10-K is a snapshot of the company at a particular point in time. For the writer, Form 10-K is an opportunity to protect the company from lawsuits and enforcement actions. This course helps those who prepare Form 10-K and investors who read Form 10-K to know what Form 10-K mandates, how to read a Form 10-K, and how to include good disclosure, which will head off future liability.
