Some information disclosed on these websites remains unaudited (e.g., graph). Statement on Auditing Standards requires no auditing of corporations’ non-financial data. The format of graphs to disclose financial information has never been regulated by accounting authority. This paper offers suggestions for Taiwan’s accounting authorities to formulate relevant norms.

(OTC) companies’ webs in Taiwan from June 1, 2004 to December 31, 2004. We found thirteen percent using graphs to present their financial and non-financial information. Also, we found about twenty-five percent unsuitable presenting graphs in Listed and OTC firms.

To remind all graphs’ readers see the graphs’ attention. The result reveals if the corporation in good financial statement presents by graphs distortion or graphs no distortion, it’s not better than numeric tables or narrative words. The corporation in not good financial statement presents by graphs distortion, graphs no distortion, numeric tables or narrative words, it’s not the same result.
