B. Zasadnyi, PhD in Economics, Assosiate Professor Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine ACCOUNTING POLICIES OF COMPANIES IN THE FRAMEWORK OF IFRS

Posted on by

The article investigates the nature of the accounting policies as a set of principles, approaches, methods, forms and procedures used for the purpose of accounting and reporting. Accounting policies are an important step in the organization of accounting, where the subject is the management of a company and the object is the system of accounting and reporting, and are designed to provide users with information needed to make effective managerial decisions. For resident companies applying IFRS for financial reporting, we suggest the structure for a document on accounting policies, which allows to take into account all the key points of accounting policy and, if necessary, can be expanded. In addition, we define the main factors that influence the development of accounting policies in the framework of IFRS.

Keywords: accounting policies, IFRS, financial reporting; accounting; accounting system.
