Abstract
Dünya’da finansal raporlama farklılıklarının temelinde iki farklı yaklaşım bulunmaktadır. Bunlardan biri AngloSaxon yaklaşımı, diğeri de Kıta Avrupası yaklaşımıdır. Bu farklı yaklaşımların temel nedenleri araştırıldığında;kültürel farklılıklar, para bulmanın fon sağlamanın kaynağı, mevcut yasal sistem, vergi ve muhasebe uygulamaları arasındaki ilişki gibi faktörlerin finansal raporlama farklılıklarını oluşturduğu belirtilmektedir. Ülkelerarası finansal raporlama farklılıkları, ortaya çıkan finansal raporların kalitesinde de farklılıklar yaratmaktadır.Tüm bunlar muhasebe ve finansal raporlama sınıflandırmalarına konu olmaktadır. Son yıllarda devam eden yakınsama çalışmaları da bu finansal raporlama farklılıklarının azaltılmasını esas almaktadır
