	Corporation Finance: Issues, Review of Fortune 500 Companies' Periodic Reports
		We also discovered that the comments raised on the Fortune 500 companies are consistent with the comments we issue generally in our review of periodic filings.
		Under an appropriate heading, companies are encouraged to disclose their most difficult and judgmental estimates, the most important and pervasive accounting policies they use, and the areas most sensitive to material change from external factors, and to provide a sensitivity analysis to facilitate an investor's understanding of the impact on the bottom line.
		In our review of the Fortune 500 companies, we noted a substantial number of companies did not provide any critical accounting policy disclosure in circumstances where FR-60 could fairly be read as calling for this disclosure.

		In this special FORTUNE 500 issue, as always, our writers have ferreted out the most intriguing tales behind the numbers.
