Basic Question 3 of 3
Management's intentional structuring of a lease transaction as an off-balance-sheet item (operating lease) illustrates how GAAP requirements may result in the quality of financial reporting being distorted. True or False?

| kalps | FALSE, as GAAP requires disclosure of commitments under CL for the future five years |
| db28luke | GAAP does require disclosure, but it is usually buried near the end of the footnotes. Most people don't get that far. |
| poomie83 | Umm the question is refering to op lease - therefore true |
| ascruggs92 | kapls: CL's are not off balance sheet |
You have a wonderful website and definitely should take some credit for your members' outstanding grades.
