1. Maths.
A variable input to a maths function which drives the result of the maths function.
For example the function:
Profit = Revenues LESS Costs
has two arguments:
- Revenues and
- Costs.
2. Computing.
A variable input to a computer function which drives the result of the computer function.
For example the Excel function:
= ROUND(number, num_digits)
also has two arguments:
- The number which is being rounded off and
- The number of decimal places to which the number is to be rounded.
3. Analysis and discussion.
A line of reasoning.
- Are accounting Notes too long?
- "Notes accompany financial statements or accounts and may be required under financial reporting standards or sometimes under relevant company or securities law.
- Notes may also be included voluntarily by the company (or other reporting entity) to help - or arguably to hinder - understanding.
- The latter argument - that excessive volumes of disclosure can hinder understanding - is based on the idea that the most significant financial information may be obscured by presenting too much other information around it."
- Notes - the Treasurer's Wiki.
4. Disputes.
