Client has a sweep cash account. Do I need to have a FASB 157 footnote in an audit report?

I have seen another CPA firm have a 2 page disclosure where their client has money market accounts. Disclosure is about the three levels and where the money markets fall into those levels.

Thanks.

Two pages for money market accounts? They must be complicated. It seems like a sweep account would be level 1 and disclosure requirements could be met with a short sentence.
