Any chance exchanges starting to demand regular financial reporting from issuers? Seriously, this will help everyone. (I have asked this several times in last year or so)
I think that "They will choose another exchange" excuse has become irrelevant. Why? Because BTCT has the highest volume and best interface, with all the bells and whistles issuer or investor can ask for.


I think it'd be awesome to do an SEC style requirement that assets upload financials to the site at regular intervals.  (quarterly?) 

It's quite a bit of work unfortunately to make sure that uploaded files don't become vectors for virus infections or other attacks.

Why bother with that?
Make a web form, where one can add rows to Assets or Liabilities side, if needed:
Start out with:

Quick example from http://www.accountingcoach.com/online-accounting-course/05Xpg04.html
Code:
ASSETS 
Current assets 
 # Cash                         2,100 +-
 # Petty cash                     100 +-
 # Temporary investments       10,000 +-
 # Accounts receivable - net   40,500 +-
 # Inventory                   31,000 +-
 # Supplies                     3,800 +-
 # Prepaid insurance            1,500 +-

Total current assets           89,000
 Add row to Assets
  Add row under Assets line #

Fixed Assets

 # Equipment
 #  Less: accum depreciation   

 Add row to Fixed Assets
  Add row under Fixed Assets line #

Total Fixed Assets

Investments
 # Shares
 # Bonds
 Add row

Tota Assets:                   

And same for liabiliteis:

Code:
LIABILITIES
Current liabilities
# Notes payable
# Accounts payable
# Wages payable
# Interest payable
# Warranty liability
# Unearned revenues

Add row  etc
Total current liabilities

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
#Common stock                  110,000
# Retained earnings             229,000
  # Less: treasury stock        (50,000)
# Total stockholders' equity    289,000

Add row  etc

Total liab. & stockholders' equity      770,000

"+ - " add sub row,  delete row, you probably have better ideas than ASCI art allows Smiley
