Configuring the director's report and statement by directors

Note: Some features described here are not available in all products.

If your Financials product includes the Reporting by Directors financial statement area, you can add content from the Knowledge Library in a way that is similar to how notes are added to the statements. See Inserting a financial statement area for more details.

You can also add a separate Statement by Directors. This is a text-based area where edits can be made directly in the statement. Options not defined here are included in Configuring common options.
