Learning objectives
1. Describe the global financial markets and their relation to financial reporting
2. Explain the objective of financial reporting
3. Identify the major policy-setting bodies and their role in the standard-setting process
4. Discuss the challenges facing financial reporting
With the globalization in mind, companies are recognizing the need to have one set of financial
reporting standards. In the past, many countries used their own sets of accounting standards. That
protocol has changed through the adoption of a single set of rules, called International Financial
Reporting Standards (IFRS).
IFRS does not come without costs and effort. However, the use of IFRS has brought the following net
benefits to capital markets:
o IFRS was successful in creating a common accounting language for capital markets.
o IFRS adoption helped to reduce investments risk in domestic firms, and attract foreign capital
overseas shares listing, bond issuance, or mergers and acquisitions.
1.1 Global Markets
World markets are increasingly intertwined. The tremendous variety and volume of both exported and
imported goods indicates the extensive involvement in international trade. In addition, due to
technological advances and less onerous regulatory requirements, investors are able to engage in
financial transactions across national borders and to make investment, capital allocation, and
financing decisions involving many foreign companies. As indicated, capital markets are
increasingly integrated, and companies have greater flexibility in deciding where to raise capital. With
the integration of capital markets, the automatic linkage between the location of the company and the
location of the capital markets are loosening. As a result, companies have been expanded choices of
where to raise capital, either equity or debt. The move toward adoption of global accounting standards
has and will continue to facilitate this trend.
Financial statements and financial reporting
Accounting is the universal language of business. The essential characteristics of accounting are (1) the
identification, measurement, and communication of financial information about (2) economic entities
to (3) interested parties. Financial accounting is the process that culminates in the preparation of
financial reports on the enterprise for use by both internal and external parties. Users of these
financial reports include investors, creditors, managers, unions, and government agencies. In contrast,
managerial accounting is the process of identifying, measuring, analyzing, and communicating
financial information needed by management to plan, control, and evaluate a company’s operations.
Financial statements are the principal means through which a company communicates its
financial information to those outside the business. These statements provide a company’s history
quantified in money terms. The financial statements most frequently provided are (1) the statement of
financial position, (2) the income statement, (3) the statement of cash flows, and (4) the statement of
changes in equity. Some financial information is better provided, by means of financial reporting
other than formal financial statements. Examples include the president’s letter or supplementary
schedules in the company annual report, prospectuses, etc.
Accounting and capital allocation
Resources are limited. As a result, people try to conserve them and ensure that they are used
effectively. Efficient use of resources often determines whether a business thrives. Accountants must
measure performance accurately and fairly on a timely basis, so that the right managers and
companies are able to attract investment capital. Capital allocation process:
