Financial Standards® provides a way to help industry groups, sectors and even individual companies present meaningful and truly comparable financial information to the investor community.

Industry Performance Reports are developed with the investor in mind, and can be used by stock analysts and investors as a foundation for reliable data, particularly when the data considered meaningful is non-GAAP in nature and no standardized framework for calculating or presenting the data has been established.

Corporate executives find these reports useful for investor and financial relations purposes. The reports provide an apples-to-apples comparison from which assertions about company performance may be made on a relative basis.

Unlike any research report prepared and presented to the investing public, Financial Standards® collects meaningful reporting data that conforms to definitions and presentations recommended by investors and company executives alike. Using this industry-driven criteria as reporting guidelines, Financial Standards® scrutinizes the data to ensure that it meets the standard financial reporting criteria and publishes quarterly reports.
