Shareholders' perceptions on the usefulness of MD&AS

Article Abstract:

The management, discussion and analysis section (MD&AS) of corporate annual reports indicate a firm's liquidity and capital resource needs, cash sources and uses, year to year financial statement changes, segment data and other pertinent information.
