. Financial reports represent economic phenomena in words and numbers. To
be useful, financial information must not only represent relevant phenomena but must faithfully represent the substance of the phenomena that it purports to represent.'

A complete depiction includes all information necessary for a user to understand the phenomenon being
depicted, including all necessary descriptions and explanations.
