The final product of an accounting information formation process on intangible assets is an enterprise's financial statement and internal (management) statement with appropriate operations details. Intangible assets and their role in assessing the effectiveness of a particular business entity are the subjects of intensive research by both foreign and Ukrainian scientists. Research of this accounting object will be relevant for the business practices in Ukraine until appropriate reporting recommendations are developed, which will reflect the real property and financial condition of the entity, which, in turn, will increase the reliability of reporting indicators and the economic attractiveness of the enterprise for potential stakeholders both in the Ukrainian and international markets. Therefore, the situation with non-disclosure of a part of the intangible assets in the company's financial statements is unacceptable, since its users expect full and reliable disclosure of information in the company's financial statements. The lack of complete and reliable information about the company does not allow its users to form an opinion and make final important decisions about the efficiency and prospects of a particular entity. Modern economic realities in developed countries and, especially in Ukraine dictate new requirements for the organization of the accounting process to manage, evaluate, and control transactions with intangible assets, which necessitates improving the organizational aspects of the accounting system in the enterprise, in particular, in terms of building an external reporting system. During the analysis of the approaches to the formation of external reporting in terms of providing information on intangible assets of the Ukrainian enterprises, as well as the nature and principles of the taxonomy of financial statements of Ukraine, recommendations on the structure and description of all components of intangible assets reporting were developed and systematized

It is proved that their combination can indicate a stable financial condition of the enterprise, since it is the calculation of one integral indicator based on all input factors at the same time.

While Indonesia has been using an accrual-based accounting system in the private sector for a long time. however, for the government sector, before 2010 Indonesia still used cash basis and cash toward accrual basis. But after the issuance of PP 71 of 2010 all government sectors are required to use an accrual basis to prepare their financial statements. The application of the accrual basis is expected to be able to improve the performance of government units. This improvement will be demonstrated by the better opinion obtained on financial statements, both LKPP and LKKL. And the improved opinion obtained will increase public confidence in the government regarding the use of funds that have been obtained from them. Therefore, for the implementation of accrual basis accounting to be fully implemented, several requirements are needed, including: (1) Improvements that must be made to an adequate accounting system and accounting technology, including a reliable internal control system; (2) The availability of competent accountants as adequate HR requirements; (3) Appropriate strategies are used for applying the accrual basis; (4) political commitment; and (5) communicating the purpose of applying this basis.

The small business sector in Ukraine does not yet play such an important role in the national economy as in economically developed countries. He fights almost daily for "survival", forced to constantly adapt to current market conditions. The development of small business is one of the priority areas of economic development at the present stage. The state relies on small business for rapid and positive structural changes in the economy, overcoming the crisis and creating conditions for market reforms. The issue of organization of accounting and control is relevant for small businesses of any form of ownership and organizational and legal form. This is due to specific features in the application of methods and techniques of accounting and control. A single view on the definition of the term "organization of accounting" scientists have not yet defined, so this question is still relevant. Features of the organization of the accounting system in small enterprises depend on the choice of the small business tax system, the choice of form of accounting, the choice of accounting system, the use of chart of accounts by small businesses and the ability to keep accounts without using the chart of accounts and principle double entry, which is typical for micro-entrepreneurs. The presence of quite frequent changes in legislation and approaches to doing business, which regulate the accounting and tax accounting of small businesses require constant improvement of accounting. Undoubtedly, the guarantee of successful operation of the enterprise is experienced management and strict control over business operations and financial flows. Control of accounting and reporting is carried out to ensure the reliability of accounting data; prevention of loss of money or valuables as a result of theft or abuse; ensuring accurate accounting of business transactions occurring in the business activities of business entities, and information in accounting registers, etc. That is, accounting control is a set of procedures that ensure the safety of assets of business entities and the accuracy of reporting prepared by the accounting department. Financial control of business operations and financial flows is the key to successful business entities. Therefore, in small businesses it is very important to form an effective system of accounting and control.

Increased comparability of financial statements across adopting countries is one of the main objectives of IFRS adoption. The level of achievement of this objective, however, is still debatable. While some studies have documented that crosscountry comparability of financial statements has increased after IFRS adoption, other studies have found that comparability has actually decreased since 2005. We contribute to this debate by studying whether the motivations for goodwill writeoff are the same or vary across countries with different accounting systems. Although a good deal of research has investigated the motivations for goodwill writeoff, our study is the first to analyze whether these motivations vary across countries with different accounting systems. We find that firms that expect low cash flows in the future are more likely to report goodwill write-offs if they are located in countries with an Anglo-Saxon accounting system than if they are located in countries with a Continental accounting system. These results suggest that IFRS are "interpreted" differently in different countries and that harmonization of financial statements has not been fully achieved yet.

AbstractSince 2012, the European Commission has embarked on the ambitious project to harmonize public sector accounting rules on all levels of government within Europe, mainly to improve the quality as well as the comparability of financial data. Although International Public Sector Accounting Standards were deemed not to be suitable for a simple take-over because of various reasons, they nevertheless shall function as a primary reference point for developing European Public Sector Accounting Standards. A total of 21 out of 28 central governments have already reformed their accounting standards to accrual accounting, and some of them have also relied on IPSAS in this exercise. Apart from governments, various international and supranational governmental organizations have also since the end of the 2000’s been reforming their accounting system to accrual accounting, and have in the same way relied on existing IPSAS. This paper explores accounting practices found in ten intergovernmental organizations (Commonwealth Secretariat, Council of Europe, European Commission, IAEA, INTERPOL, ITER, NAPMA, OECD, International Criminal Court, WFP) whose statements are prepared in compliance with IPSAS. It analyzes how overt and covert options contained in IPSAS with relevance to the activities of intergovernmental organizations are exercised and evaluates in which areas of accounting material differences in accounting practices can be found, which may hinder the comparability of financial statements prepared on the basis of IPSAS.

The report by the UNCTAD Secretariat, submitted to the third session of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development held in Santiago (Chile) in April 1972, deals with the restrictive business practices of the multinational corporations with special reference to the export interests of the developing countries. Since the world war, there has been a tremendous growth in the size and activities of many international firms. They have grown from the national corporation to the multidivisional corporation and now to the multinational corporation. With each step they acquired greater financial power, better technology and know-how and more complex administrative structures. They have subsidiaries and branches all over the world. In the course of the sixties they became one of the dominant factors in determining the pattern of world trade. At the same time, their increasingly restrictive business practices, which tended to adversely affect world trade and the export interest of less developed countries, attracted the attention of the governments both in developed and less developed countries and serious concern was shown at the international level. It is against this background that the UNCTAD undertook the study on the question of restrictive business practices.
