The main purpose of this paper is to explain the importance of the relationship between the most important functions in the framework of financial reporting accounting - the concept of reporting entity, general financial reporting and accounting standards.

Based on the importance of understanding financial accounting and reporting, scholars standardized financial accounting and established the International Accounting Standards Committee (Pricewaterhouse Coopers, 2002). The IASC, now known as the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), was able to set international financial reporting standards. International financial reporting standards are applied worldwide and Europe, the United States and other countries are trying to comply with new standardized and unified accounting policies.
