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 ASSETS

# 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

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

# Less: treasury stock (50,000)
# Total stockholders' equity 289,000

Total liab. & stockholders' equity 770,000
"+ - " add sub row, delete row, you probably have better ideas than ASCI art allows
