Gain and understanding of the Form 10-K and what is required to complete it.
The Form 10-K report is the major annual report filed by registered public companies with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Whether you read Form 10-K reports or write them, the Form 10-K report is the most significant disclosure document that a publicly traded company issues. The writer of a Form 10-K needs to know what goes into the report to protect the company from criticism from the Securities and Exchange Commission and, in the case of how to minimize liability from private securities lawsuits. This topic helps those who prepare Form 10-Ks; and investors who read Form 10-Ks, know what is required in Form 10-Ks, how to read a Form 10-K, and how to include good disclosure which will head off future liability.
