The efficiency analysis of accounting transparency and realisation on ias 1 presentation of financial statements within transnational management

Accounting standards are counted to be the force that guarantees the proper compliance of a company to the accounting principles. Each standard has a specific role in the accounting processes, however each company has its own attitude to all of them. This attitude depends on number of factors, such as the scale of company, region of activities, its own principles and etc. At the time when a world is living through globalisation and integration, international companies are ruling companies in the world as they cover big territories and involve many people. In order to be able to properly manage such companies the management has an obligation to create certain standards inside the companies that would fit its entities all around the world. These standards are playing the role of a unique and universal "language" within certain sphere of activities. Respectively, the company has to deal with its accounting issues as well and determine its own standards within the company which at the same time have to fit the international accounting standards as well. While each company has to follow these standards in full power, in reality it rarely happens and most of the time companies live through number of gaps. The compliance of standards is the liability of the company management and it directly affects both image and prosperity of the company. Below we will observe all the issues that a company faces while trying to comply one of the most important accounting standards, IAS 1 and what happens when a standard is mistreated. As a result of gaps in standard compliance we will see the effect of management mistakes on the company image and performance. Besides that, we will overview the experience that was gained in an international construction company regarding standard compliance and elimination of transparency and disclosure failure, its consequences which will show what actions should be taken in order to keep the image and performance of a company on top.
