If an entity is not an [SEC filer](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#securities-and-exchange-commission-sec-filer "An entity that is required to file or furnish its financial statements with either of the following: The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) With respect to an entity subject to Section 12(i) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the appropriate agency under that Section. Financial statements for other entities that are not otherwise SEC filers whose financial statements are included in a submission by another SEC filer are not included within this definition."), then the entity shall disclose both of the following:

1.  a
    
    The date through which [subsequent events](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/s/#subsequent-events "Events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. There are two types of subsequent events: The first type consists of events or transactions that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements (that is, recognized subsequent events). The second type consists of events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose subsequent to that date (that is, nonrecognized subsequent events).") have been evaluated
    
2.  b
    
    Whether that date is either of the following:
    
    1.  1
        
        The date the [financial statements were issued](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#financial-statements-are-issued "Financial statements are considered issued when they are widely distributed to shareholders and other financial statement users for general use and reliance in a form and format that complies with GAAP. (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission [SEC] registrants also are required to consider the guidance in paragraph 855-10-S99-2.)")
        
    2.  2
        
        The date the [financial statements were available to be issued](https://asc.understandingaccounting.org/glossary/f/#financial-statements-are-available-to-be-issued "Financial statements are considered available to be issued when they are complete in a form and format that complies with GAAP and all approvals necessary for issuance have been obtained, for example, from management, the board of directors, and/or significant shareholders. The process involved in creating and distributing the financial statements will vary depending on an entity's management and corporate governance structure as well as statutory and regulatory requirements.").

Some nonrecognized subsequent events may be of such a nature that they must be disclosed to keep the financial statements from being misleading. For such events, an entity shall disclose the following:

1.  a
    
    The nature of the event
    
2.  b
    
    An estimate of its financial effect, or a statement that such an estimate cannot be made.

An entity also shall consider supplementing the historical financial statements with pro forma financial data. Occasionally, a nonrecognized subsequent event may be so significant that disclosure can best be made by means of pro forma financial data. Such data shall give effect to the event as if it had occurred on the balance sheet date. In some situations, an entity also shall consider presenting pro forma statements, usually a balance sheet only, in columnar form on the face of the historical statements.
