In this research paper the authors want to express their thoughts by stating that how to them earnings reporting pertains to the discovery of information that has not been disclosed by either people or other types of sources and focus towards the negative in this study. In my opinion, the title of the paper itself could have had a different title only because throughout the paper it analyzes negative or bad news rather than really paying attention to both perspectives. Also the paper captures the information or news that occurs by using a three day window in which Quarterly Earnings Announcement (QEA) take place and compares it to a period where it does not take place. Furthermore, in this paper there are three hypotheses that arise

Another GAAP is the full disclosure principle. This principle states that it is imperative to include all information in a financial statement of an entity that would affect the reader’s understanding of the statements. This principle also includes the reporting of any current accounting policies as well as any changes of them.

Disclosure is information regarding an activity of financial records that creditors, investors, and humans should know what when on in the company or organization regarding the finances increase or decrease. This includes strikes in the company, major fire, theft, a bad product, or a product that is at a high-demand regarding the time of year.

The issue is whether Christie’s actions of disclosing the previously private information regarding William’s employment history and prior immigration status constitute public disclosure of private facts. To prove that a person is liable for public disclosure of private facts, the plaintiff must prove that (1) the exposure of the facts is a public disclosure, (2) the facts disclosed are private facts, and (3) the nature of the information disclosed is offensive (Kinsey v. Macur, Porten v. University of San Francisco, Daly v. Viacom, Inc.). William Franklin probably has a cause of action for public disclosure of private facts against Christie

After looking at the American Bar Association web-site the section that had the most applicable content was Rule 1.6. Confidentiality of Information. Some of the main points include “A lawyer shall not reveal information relating to the representation of a client unless the client gives informed consent.” (ABA Model Rules 1:6) I believe this takes precedence over all the other areas because of the strict rules of confidentiality. The health department requires “open records” to be available upon public inquiry. The potential of releasing personal information could prove disastrous. It is required to blackout all person information such as home addresses, telephone numbers and date of births.

The same rule applies to employees; employees have the right to examine their personnel files, and no information can be disclosure without the consent of employees. Also, HIM employees are responsible for preventing accidental disclosure; a supervisor has an obligation to safeguard all personal health information against accidental disclosure. All the privacy and confidentiality rules that apply to patients are pertinent to employees as well.

I have chosen the addiction population for the reason that they are probably the most diverse group of individuals around. Addiction is much more then drugs and alcohol and addiction can be anything some may have an addiction to pain, self-harm, sex, so you never know what kind of people you will be dealing with. I have always loved the puzzle and the challenging in figuring out why people do what they do in a way that’s one of my addictions hence the interest in the population.

I shall keep in strictest confidence and shall not disclose to any participant or other third party at any time (i.e., prior to, during, or after the taping or broadcast of any episode of the project) any information or materials of any kind relating to the project, including without limitation, any information or materials concerning or relating to Starhaus Entertainment, Its subsidiaries, affiliated entities, officers, directors, employees or contractors, its parents, subsidiaries, affiliated entities, officers, the business of, any project produced by (“PRODUCER”) or (“NETWORK”) and/or broadcast by Starhaus Entertainment, including, without limitation, any information concerning or relating to the project, the project participants, the events contained in the Project or the outcome of any episode of the project, that I read, hear or otherwise acquire or learn in connection with or as a result of my performing services with respect to the project.

Financial statement Disclosure Notes under US GAAP the full disclosure principle is one of the basic accounting principles, which is an exchange of all material information integral to financial information for the company. Companies should provide disclosure notes when they provide the financial statement. Full disclosure notes give full information about the statements for investors and creditors to make decisions because this note is connected with the financial statements. And also, the notes help for managerial decisions for the next plan year. All United States companies follow Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) disclosure rules. Under US GAAP the required disclosures are the summary of significant accounting policy, subsequent event, and related party transaction.

As per Lindblom, and Dowling, and Pfeffer, the public disclosure of information in spaces like the annual reports can be made use of by a business to apply legitimation strategies i.e. to elevate the legitimacy and reduce legitimacy gap. This principle has been adopted by several researchers across the globe. Through Annual reports a firm can disclose information to offset any previous negative news or provide information to relevant parties regarding positive features of the organization that was not known beforehand, awards and recognitions received, initiatives executed etc. Even though such disclosures might not necessarily mean there has been any real change brought about by the organization, according to Ashforth and Gibbs (1990), the use of substantive management techniques might require real, objective change in organizational goals, structures, and procedures and practices. Consistent with the conclusions of Lindblom and Dowling, and Pfeffer, Hurt (1970) has deduced that one of the primary functions of accounting as well as accounting reports, is to legitimate the existence and operation of the business. Such views focus on the strategic nature of financial statements and relevant disclosures.

Many companies find that the centralization of operations leads to inefficiencies in decision making. The mechanistic structure has advantages when the environment is more stable, because it allows companies around the world to produce uniform products at minimum costs. Their employees usually work separately and specialize in only one task at hand, and every worker is assigned a specific repetitive task. The mechanistic structure is more of an advantage to the new ventures when it comes down to it because; new businesses often suffer from a lack of structure. New ventures can achieve better performance starting out as a new company with the help of the structure it would receive from the presence of a mechanistic structure.

Disclosure principle. Amount and kinds of information disclosed should be decided based on trade-off analysis as a larger amount of information costs more to prepare and use. Information disclosed should be enough to make a judgment while keeping costs reasonable. Information is presented in the main body of financial statements, in the notes or as supplementary information

When talking about the business form of an enterprise, we usually pay close attention to its organizational structure. The group that I worked, LeEco Group, is composed of multi-business lines of subsidiaries. These subsidiaries take shape as a
