description The impact that SFAS 115, Accounting for Certain Debt and Equity Securities, can have on the way financial statements are presented is examined. SFAS 115 requires that investment securities be categorized in one of 3 classifications (that is, trading, available for sale, and held to maturity), and these classifications result in different valuation for securities. Under SFAS 115, two companies with identical securities could appear quite different in terms of financial statement representation depending upon how management decides to categorize the securities. These differences in financial statement representation can impact financial statement ratios and may, in turn, affect investment and credit decisions.
