Quick question. What is the best method (or accepted method) of indicating negative numbers in financial reports (e.g. Word and/or web).
The standard accounting practice is to but brackets around negative values, but how is this interpreted through screen readers. Are the brackets ignored? Is there a better way??
thanks,
Logan Trafford
