From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"such as adjusting the current balance sheet to fix faulty accounting practices in previous years."

[edit] Changing use: "proforma" to become a noun?
Has anyone else noticed the way in which proforma has started to be used to refer to a form document usually pre-formatted with space to add information. The tendency is then to call this document a proforma, effectively transforming the adjectival phrase into a noun.
I have noticed this in government in Australia where governments are now producing "proformas", note the plural, for funded organisations to enter data about their operations.

[edit] More than extraordinary and restructuring
Pro forma earnings excludes many other big ticket items, other than the piece suggests: R&D, Stock Option Compensation, Discontinued Items, and certain types of losses.
[edit] Addition of the Legislation section
Hello.
I thought it would be appropriate to add a Legislation section because, in my opinion, the Legal procedings section did not address this subject (I thoroughly checked before making the addition). If anyone requires sources as per the facts in the new section, I would be happy to provide them upon request.

A Proforma might be a document indicating that which might be supplied without specifying the terms of payment but a Proforma Invoice is submitted to obtain payment before the goods are despatched.
[edit] italics
pro forma is a foreign word, and therefore should probably be italicized throughout, and reference to the rule of italics for foreign words might be referenced.
