Abstract: The paper addresses the persistent problem of graphical communication in financial reporting. The lack of appropriate curriculum development for students' professional guidelines may arguably perpetuate poor practice. The multifaceted perceptual issues, strategic use and design issues involved in this visual medium for financial reporting are discussed. There are decision-making processes involved in using graphical displays. The paper presents a comprehensive set of guidelines along with practical insights for the effective use of graphical displays. It may serve as a critical (self)learning tool.
