ACCOUNTING AS A MEETING POINT BETWEEN INTERESTS OF STATE AND BUSINESS

Аннотация

Accounting is one of the main management functions along with functions such as planning,
regulation, organization and incentives. This means that improving management and creating a market mechanism
are inextricably linked with the development of the entire accounting system.
The priority area for using the information generated in the accounting system is meeting the needs of a certain
circle of interested parties.
Accounting, by virtue of its constituent elements and methods of maintenance, is an information system that
gives its internal and external users a complete picture of financial and economic activities.
Russian accounting is traditionally focused on tax legislation, and the problem arises of the need to keep records
for both tax authorities and for the purposes of the financial market.
The globalization processes taking place in the global system have a significant impact on the formation of
various concepts, including accounting concepts. Due to the main objective and subjective factors - liberalization and
increased competition in the national markets of developed countries, improving the technology of financial

calculating financial results and preparing financial statements, which will ensure sufficient transparency of the
reporting data, their understanding and unambiguous interpretation in the international context.
Theory of accounting is a combination of diverse concepts, united by the laws and specifics of the requirements
and goals of users of information generated in accounting as a set of directions, trends and schools that explain the

presentation of basic theoretical principles. Modern theory has not yet been able to find effective solutions to
pressing problems of accounting during its reform in connection with the transition to IFRS. When developing the
theory of accounting, information from new areas of economic life (stock market, insurance, investment, bankruptcy,
