Summary/Abstract: Financial information synthesized and presented in financial reports is, in theory, professional regulation and business practice, the “standard” reporting on achieved business and financial results, financial position, cash flows..., but also on business potential in the future, for the needs of numerous stakeholders. In modern business conditions determined by the processes of growing competition, globalization, internationalization, digitalization, green transition, sustainable and socially responsible business, or the so-called “new normalities”, the need for other non-financial or information on the sustainability of the reporting entity’s operations is gaining additional importance, while the theoretical, practical and regulatory aspects of non-financial and sustainability reporting are becoming an increasingly important issue and challenge for the accounting and financial profession. This paper aims to indicate the need, importance and essence, concepts, approaches, frameworks and regulation of non-financial and sustainability reporting; presents current regulations in this area, as well as the contribution of these concepts and approaches to quality and meeting the needs of stakeholders for non-financial information, and delivers available information on the practice of sustainability reporting and integrated reporting as part of overall non-financial reporting.
