Summary/Abstract: Disclosure requirements for public companies, including accounting policy with valuation methods, play an important role in reducing information asymmetry. It is of particular importance on the NewConnect market, based on the alternative trading system and dedicated to firms in Central and Eastern Europe with a short history, innovative, engaged in R&D, and consequently generating losses more than gains. This article aims to answer the question, why companies listed on the NewConnect are allowed to draw up financial statements in accordance with different accounting standards: Polish, foreign or IFRS. Maybe the differences in the influence of diversifying methods of valuation of assets and liabilities, on the financial result and the equity, within companies applying the same accounting standards, exceed differences in the valuation effects among firms applying different accounting standards: Polish, foreign or IFRS.
