Abstract

The objective of the annual financial statements is to provide a true and fair view of the financial position, financial performance and other information relating to the business of the entities or groups of entities, in accordance with applicable accounting regulations. The transition to the application of IFRS as an accounting basis by entities whose securities are traded on a regulated market has been a major challenge both for the professionals involved in the preparation and audit of the annual financial statements and for the authorities. The application of IFRS by some companies that carry out monopoly activities, which manage assets belonging to state authorities, requires professional judgment and appropriate measures to identify any risks that may arise from non-correlation of the provisions of legislation and IFRS. Given the existence of excessive and sometimes outdated legislation, the presentation of a true image in relation to IFRS and compliance with the applicable legal framework is a challenge for practitioners in companies, for statutory auditors but also for authorities that need to assess how to manage state capital and tax reported profits. The transition to the application of IFRS as an accounting basis in Romania by entities whose securities are traded on a regulated market was made without a prior analysis of the comparability between the provisions contained in legislation (including tax) and the provisions of International Financial Reporting Standards. There are a variety of economic and financial operations that are carried out by entities and various forms of their legal organization, so that they cannot be fully identified and legally regulated. The analysis of the information in the annual financial statements published by the companies can contribute to the understanding of the information by various users, including the representatives of the state authorities.
