Financial Standards® is committed to helping industries formulate consistent
supplemental financial information.
Investor
over-reliance on earnings per share, especially as reported
every three months and measured by pennies per share, is a problem
that calls for a solution. That solution is industry standards
provided as a supplement to US GAAP financial reports. The source
for industry standards begins with the executives and the investor
community.
Our
mission includes working with industry groups, executives and
the investor community, to identify and reach consensus of the
key value drivers in an industry and developing standardized
measures. Through this process, Financial Standards® publishes
the definitions, develops the collection methodology, and presents
this information in a format in which reliable benchmarks and
comparisons can be made by investors and industry participants.
