CHAPTER 1
THE CANADIAN FINANCIAL REPORTING ENVIRONMENT

CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES

1. Understand the financial reporting environment. Accounting provides reliable, relevant, and
timely information to managers, investors, and creditors so that resources are allocated to the most
efficient enterprises. Accounting also provides measurements of efficiency (profitability) and
financial soundness.
Investors, creditors, management, securities commissions, stock exchanges, analysts, credit rating
agencies, auditors, and standard setters are some of the major stakeholders. Illustration 1.4
explains what is at stake for each one.
The objective of financial reporting is to communicate information that is useful to key decision-
makers such as investors and creditors in making resource allocation decisions (including assessing
management stewardship) about the resources and claims to resources of an entity and how these
are changing.
Ideally, all stakeholders should have access to the same information in order to ensure that good
decisions are made in the capital marketplace. This is known as information symmetry. However,
this is not the case—there is often information asymmetry. Of necessity, management has access to
more information so that it can run the company. It must also make sure that it does not give away
information that might harm the company, such as in a lawsuit where disclosure might cause the
company to lose. Aside from this, information asymmetry exists because of management bias
whereby management acts in its own self-interest, such as wanting to maximize management
bonuses. This is known as moral hazard in accounting theory. Information asymmetry causes
markets to be less efficient. It may cause stock prices to be discounted or costs of capital to increase.
In addition, it might detract good companies from raising capital in the particular market where
relevant information is not available (referred to as adverse selection in accounting theory). The
efficient markets hypothesis is felt to exist only in a semi-strong form, meaning that only publicly
available information is assimilated into stock prices.


2. Explain the need for accounting standards and identify the major entities that influence standard
setting and financial reporting. The accounting profession has tried to develop a set of standards
that is generally accepted and universally practised. This is known as GAAP (generally accepted
accounting principles). Without this set of standards, each enterprise would have to develop its
own standards, and readers of financial statements would have to become familiar with every
company’s particular accounting and reporting practices. As a result, it would be almost impossible
to prepare statements that could be compared. In addition, accounting standards help deal with the
information asymmetry problem.
The Canadian Accounting Standards Board (AcSB) is the main standard-setting body in Canada for
private companies, pension plans, and not-for-profit entities. Its mandate comes from the Canada
Business Corporations Act and Regulations as well as provincial acts of incorporation. For public
companies, GAAP is International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as established by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). Public companies are required to follow GAAP in
order to access capital markets, which are monitored by provincial securities commissions. The U.
S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) is also important as it influences IFRS standard

setting. Private companies may choose to follow IFRS. Public companies that list on U.S. stock
exchanges may choose to follow U.S. GAAP.


3. Explain the meaning of generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and the significance of
professional judgement in applying GAAP. Generally accepted accounting principles are either
principles that have substantial authoritative support, such as the CPA Canada Handbook, or those
arrived at through the use of professional judgement and the conceptual framework.
Professional judgement plays an important role in Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises
(ASPE) and IFRS since much of GAAP is based on general principles, which need to be interpreted.


4. Discuss some of the challenges and opportunities for accounting. Some of the challenges facing
accounting are the impact of technology, sustainability reporting, oversight in the capital markets,
centrality of ethics, standard setting in a political environment, and principles- versus rules-based
standard setting. All of these require the accounting profession to continue to strive for excellence
and to understand how accounting adds value in the capital marketplace.
