After the OFR

Article Abstract:

The government's sudden abandonment of the statutory operating and financial review (OFR) angered many companies and advisers, though they can still use it in a replacement business review. The Department of Trade and Industry has issued guidance for review preparers explaining that the directors' report for a financial year must contain a fair review of the business of the company and a description of the principal risks and uncertainties facing the company.

Which way forward?

Article Abstract:

The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) is out-of-date and the standards are being written without an effective conceptual framework for the given complex and shifting nature of financial reporting. The re-writing of the framework should be the main aim of the IASB as the quality control over the production of international standards has become questionable.
