Module overview
The module is intended to introduce students to regulation in financial reporting and to examine specific problem areas using a conceptual framework as a basis of the analysis. This allows an evaluation of current external reporting practice within the context of accounting theory. This will involve an examination of the regulatory framework of financial reporting, i.e. UK and EU company law, the UK Accounting Standards Board and the International Accounting Standards Board. Significant accounting issues which have been the subject of legislation or accounting standards will be analysed.
