Managing Note Content within Cloud Financials

Note content display within Cloud Financials

The main note disclosures are grouped into the following categories:

  • Balance Sheet

  • Income Statement

  • Other


Notes that are linked to the two main statements, are set to only display if accounts are mapped to the respective map numbers they are dependent on.


Notes that fall within the ‘Other’ group category are all set to display by default, as are all Directors’ Report notes.


By having all required note disclosures displayed, a full content review of the financial statements can be completed prior to any tailoring decisions being made.
