Hi, I'm looking for reliable provider of financial statements for international companies (USA, Europe, Germany, Japan, South Korea).

The problem I have so far - some providers have incomplete data, some use slightly different naming conventions etc.

I tried to use Morningstar, seems like it's the leading data provider (along with Bloomberg), but found following issues:

- It doesn't have the Balance Sheet statement for BHP, while Marketwatch has it.
- Same for Renault SA the Balance Sheet is missing.
- And for Novo Nordisk A/S ADR financial statements are missing for 2019 year, while they do exist on Marketwatch.

Do you know a better provider?

P.S.

And, do you know if there's any standards on how things named in financial reports? I mean - name of every line in the table. Sometimes they are called slightly differently.
 
Bloomberg goes through tremendous effort to standardize, translate and aggregate financial data from companies all over the world.
I found the data to be of high quality, but cost is prohibitive if you don't have access through work.

I get specific financial data from Investing.com and Yahoo Finance.
