Can someone please provide some assistance with a question. Its for an MBA course. It need to be between 350 and 450 words or so. Do you think there is a danger of hiding critical information in an attempt to simplify financial statement for ill-prepared board members? How so? What would be a good solution to that problem? Please see attached lecture notes for further information on how to better assist me with this question. Thank you so much for all your help. I don't want to confuse you with all the posts so just take one at a time. Just want you to have plenty of time to assist me on them. This post accurate deadline date is 10/20/15.

So I will continue to update it until it shows the accurate deadline (due) date which is 10/20/15.
