Financial Reporting
Preparation of Financial Statements as per International Financial Reporting Standards
Financial reporting is an integral part of a company’s operations, allowing it to assess its financial health accurately. Unfortunately, many companies rely on in-house accounting and bookkeeping staff to create these reports, even if they lack the right qualifications and knowledge. This can lead to financial statements that are inaccurate or difficult to understand, creating serious issues for the company. To ensure accurate financial records and statements, companies need to invest in qualified professionals with the appropriate experience and understanding of financial reporting.
What is Financial Reporting Service?
Financial reporting is the process of tracking and recording financial transactions taking place within a business. This includes income, expenses, sales, production costs, liabilities and more. It involves the preparation of detailed and accurate financial statements, reports and records that provide information about a business’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows. These documents are used to evaluate a company’s performance over past and current periods. This method provides investors, creditors, suppliers, government agencies and clients with an in-depth overview of the company’s financial status. Furthermore, these documents also provide useful insights into how different decisions may affect the business’s future prospects.
Why do you Need a Financial Reporting Service?
Financial reporting is designed to convey the financial performance and position of a business accurately and objectively. Financial reporting serves to inform investors, creditors, suppliers, government agencies and customers about the company’s financial results. Financial accounting and financial reporting details can be summarized on financial statements that cover assets, liabilities, incomes, equity and expenses as well as other monetary transactions.
Financial reporting provides a way for owners to gain insight into their organization’s finances by examining critical numbers pertaining to investment decisions, liabilities, and assets. With the use of these statements and reports, businesses can effectively make informed decisions to ensure future success and growth. Moreover, the UAE Commercial Companies Law No 2 of 2015 came into effect on 1 July 2015. It required companies to adhere to international financial reporting standards and practices when compiling their financial reports.
