Summary/Abstract: The financial reporting of any business entity wherever it operates is essential for the efficient management of that entity. Financial reporting in accordance with IFRS, international best practices and EU directives helps to create a more transparent business environment and enhances the credibility of other stakeholders. The financial reporting of companies in the Republic of Kosovo is important for a well-functioning market economy and provides some of the basic elements for a proper and sound financial system in Kosovo. The purpose of this research is to analyze whether the financial statements of companies in Kosovo are transparent, and each interested party can find their financial statements and other necessary information, as well as how they are prepared in accordance with IFRS/IAS requirements. Providing quality financial reporting helps users of that information to make important economic decisions. Financial information published and available to stakeholders in most cases to companies in Kosovo is considered not very reliable and not very transparent, as well as incomplete. The results of this research reflect the lack of transparency of financial information from companies in Kosovo, which is easily verified through the qualifications of the opinion of the auditor's report, clicks on the website, etc.
