Title
Financial accounting and reporting in developing countries : a South African perspective
Description
South Africa is currently going through major changes in political, social and other
arenas. It is therefore appropriate to consider the effect of these developments on
financial reporting in a changing environment. This paper explores the origins of
the current South African accounting system, given its status as a developing
country, and endeavours to show that financial reporting needs to be amended to
reflect the changing face of the South Africa's social fabric, its status as a
developing country, as well as the emergence of new users of financial statements. Certain recommendations are made to address these issues.
