Summary of the 8-K/A filed December 22, 2005. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
This Form 8-K/A filing from Procter & Gamble (PG) on December 22, 2005, serves as an amendment to a previous 8-K filed on November 2, 2005.
The primary purpose of this amendment is to correct a discrepancy in the previously filed financial summary, specifically regarding the total asset amount. This correction is in light of the company's adoption of SFAS 123(R) for share-based payments and a change in accounting for treasury stock, both effective July 1, 2005.
For investors, the key takeaway is that the previously reported financial information, while containing a minor error in the total asset figure, will now serve as the official historical financial statements for future SEC filings. This amendment ensures the accuracy and consistency of PG's financial reporting going forward, which is crucial for maintaining investor confidence and providing a reliable basis for future financial analysis and decision-making.
