AASB essay on presentation and disclosure

This item was filled under Uncategorized

The Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) has published an essay discussing disclosure and presentation in the context of conceptual frameworks. The essay argues there is a “gap” in frameworks between the objective level and the lower levels, due to an insufficient exploration of the connection between users’ needs and the characteristics of the entity. The essay suggests a possible broader focus on ‘stocks’ and ‘flows’ and a resultant new approach to presentation and disclosure which would move away from topic based disclosure.
