Updated Summary Financial Statements Position Paper
This paper applies when an entity presents summary financial statements instead of full audited annual financial statements to users who have public access to, or would otherwise have received, the entity’s full audited annual financial statements. Summary financial statements are intended to meet the information needs of users who do not require all the information contained in full audited annual financial statements. Therefore, the summary financial statements presented by an entity are additional to the full audited annual financial statements presented by that entity
