Summary/Abstract: Financial reporting represents an undoubtedly significant source of financial information about the results of an entity’s performance. In the article the Author puts forward the thesis that financial reports, generated by an accounting system, should include all the information indispensable for the decision-making process regarding an enterprise’s functioning. The information generated by the accounting system is valuable for stakeholders if, on its basis, they are capable of making correct decisions. A uniform standpoint prepared by the regulating authorities, as well as the construction of a universal financial reporting model for entities functioning on the global market, may meet the changing needs of wide groups of these organizations’ stakeholders.
