Disclosure: The action of making new or secret information known. In a legal context, disclosure can involve the release of evidence or information during the discovery phase of a trial. In the business and financial world, it refers to the act of providing important information to the public, such as a company revealing financial statements or a data breach being reported to customers. Disclosure is a critical concept in regulatory compliance, where laws often require the release of information to protect the public interest and maintain transparency.
