Notas do Editor
- (using external company data to enhance capabilities and improve performance)
- Historically, there are two schools of thought which affect financial reporting. For the Netherlands, Denmark, UK and Ireland, part of the “Anglo-Saxon” group of countries, the goal is to provide existing or potential shareholders with a true and fair view of the company. Continental Europe is more focused on providing information for taxation and statistics, and to offer protection to credit grantors. Other factors affecting a country’s filing regulations and disparate display of financial information include: Economics – Fiscal policies, accounting rules, taxation Cultural difference – Some cultures do not adhere to the importance of deadlines or regulation Legal form of the company - Sole proprietorship, partnership, limited liability etc. Company size – small and medium size companies may be required to file less information One example of how fiscal policy affects filing is the taxation on profit requirement. For most of Continental Europe, companies tend to lower their profit with overestimated depreciation or bad debt provisions. This calculation of the fiscal profit is based on accounting rules. Yet in Anglo-Saxon countries, the taxation on profit is calculated separately and is independent from accounting practices. The difference between both calculation methods is itemized in “deferred taxation”, which is considered a debt on the balance sheet. The view of the profit and loss account is considered to be fair, as accounting and taxation are separated.
- Seems to be quite open that not everyone will be able to cope with regulations
