LLP: Presentation Disclosure Dialog
This dialog enables you to specify the rounding and scaling for the current entity. It is accessed via the Presentation link under the Presentation heading on the Disclosure tab.
In addition to the on-screen advice, you should note the following:
You should normally apply the same scaling and rounding.
Rounding and scaling are only applied to computational parts of the report. Use the Edit Style dialog to apply rounding to user-defined tables.
Each section applies the rounding and scaling to the related Director/Member report, Primary statement, Statutory note and Non-statutory note sections in the report.
- Rounding
- Rounding enables you to specify how accurate your figures need to be. For example, you may only need to report figures to the nearest million, this is a rounding of '1,000,000'.
-
Ensure you always enter the rounded amount. For example, if the actual amount is '1150' and rounding is set to '1000' you must enter '1000'. Amounts should always be rounded up. For example, using the same '1150' example and rounding is set to '100' you must enter '1200'.
- Rounding is always performed on the pre-scaled value to ensure accuracy of calculations.
- After rounding, any balancing figure is automatically posted to the P&L suspense account by default. Change the default account via the Select Rounding Account dialog as follows:
- For the current year, via the Journals tab.
- For prior years entered as comparative data.
- Scaling
- Scaling enables you to specify how many digits to display for your figures. For example, you may only want to display figures in thousands, this is a scaling of '1,000'. A figure of '12,345,678' can be displayed as '12' by specifying a rounding of '1,000,000' and a scaling of '1,000,000'.
