  • Financial statements- income statement
  • General ledger

  • Uncorrected misstatements

To add commentary to an automatic document:

Commentary is added to the automatic document.

Notes:

  • Commentary text is included at the bottom of the document when printed.
  • Multiple users cannot add commentary simultaneously. The user who completes their commentary last will overwrite all other changes.
  • To improve performance, or if you are encountering issues with content in the Commentary pane, select Do not refresh open documents when changes are made by other users under Tools | Options | Advanced. Commentary changes will only display after the document is reopened.
