Complete Vs. Limited

Mike,
It's open-ended. Use em both if you like.

Paul,
You early raised the point that one should understand this stuff. And now state that after nine years there are some who don't. I agree with that principle. In USPAP, that's called "competency."

I am 99%-100% sure I understand the material, but the material itself doesn't make sense. Yes, I am not confused, but the material is. Not everyone is suited to dealing with that type of stress, nor should they be.

For example, suppose there was a test and you saw this question:
Which of the three reporting options results in a report that contains the most information?
What is the answer?

Steve,

You have said it all.

Has anyone ever actually seen a "self contained" report that could not be called a summary? When would you stop putting stuff in it?
