Others want to be able to drill down into the data and look at
more line numbers, click through historical data, or view segmental
information. Few companies make accounting information available in
a range of formats to suit different users – even though this is
relatively easy to do online.
What investors want:
- Hierarchical representation of accounting data so that they can
see top-line figures and then drill down into the detail.
- Easy access to historical numbers.
- Ability to view years in ascending or descending order.
- Graphical representation of historical trends.
- To view performance through the eyes of management.
What we’ve done to make it work:
- Provided a collapse/expand facility on some of the primary
financials to allow users to drill into the detail.
- Included five years of financial data, available at the click
of a button.
- Created an ascending/descending years option.
- Made non-GAAP and five-year data available from the financial
statements.
