1. Why do corporations provide quarterly earnings announcements and host earnings conference calls, if not required to do so by the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC)?

2. Describe the practice of selective disclosure and how it could be used to potentially mislead investors and other users of financial information.

3. Assess CEO Trey Prescotts selective disclosure plan for LEXM Corporations third-quarter earnings release. Identify the benefits and risks of implementing this disclosure plan. Do the benefits outweigh the risks?

4. The IMA Statement of Ethical Professional Practices overarching ethical principles are honesty, fairness, objectivity, and responsibility.
