Audience
“Institutional investors are pension funds, mutual funds, money managers, insurance companies, investment banks, commercial trusts, endowment funds, hedge funds, and some hedge fund investors. They account for half of the volume of trades on the New York Stock Exchange. They move large blocks of shares and have tremendous influence on the stock market's movements. Institutional investors are considered to be knowledgeable and, therefore, less likely to make uneducated investment.”

Deficiencies in U.S. GAAP

Increased Earnings
