Lecture 1 – Financial reporting in capital markets and IFRS
development
What is accounting
,Accounting is the way a business uses to communicate its financial performance; it is the
language of the business.
Only financial information.
Role of financial reporting
Economic theory reasoning
• Firms needs economic resources, provided by capital providers.
• Absence of reporting = Wild Wild West à Adverse selection = information
asymmetry. Part that has more information, seller knows more about quality
compared to the buyer
The firms knows better than the capital providers. That’s why the firm needs to provide
information, in case the information asymmetry becomes less
, • For this mechanism to work efficiently, they need to write contracts, to prevent
agency conflicts and moral hazard behavior
General purpose is decision-usefulness
In addition: the stewardship: if the owners assign stewardship of their company to
management, they wish to have the ability to oversee management behavior to ensure that:
• It is aligned to owner’s objectives
• Management are devising strategies aimed at making the best use of company assets
• No misappropriation of the company assets takes place
= being able to control
Company’s are becoming bigger and they need to communicate
Our focus in this course
Is the annual report.
1. Letter to shareholders
2. Divisions
3. Corporate convenance
4. Group management report
5. Consolidated financial statements = most important
