In an international context this subject deals with company formation, changes in a company's capital structure and the statutory and professional financial reporting requirements of incorporated reporting entities. An understanding of the overview of the conceptual framework and the role of accounting standards leads to the study of the definition, measurement and recognition of assets, liabilities and owner's equity items and to the disclosure of these items in financial statements.
