Accounting reporting is an enterprise management tool

Any individual entrepreneur, anyan organization, whether it is an LLC, an open joint-stock company or a closed joint-stock company, certainly faces such a concept as "accounting statements".

But in fact it is structured information about the company's financial position. It includes information about the movement of assets, profits, losses of the enterprise, the availability of liabilities.

In addition to these documents, there are still a number ofother, no less labor-intensive and voluminous. However, it is worth noting that such forms are mandatory for those individual entrepreneurs and organizations that work under the general taxation system (OSHO). There are also a number of preferential systems, such as the USN (Simplified Taxation System), the Single Economic Tax (Unified Agricultural Tax) or the Unified Tax on Imputed Income (UTII). For enterprises that enjoy such benefits, the accounting reporting required for government agencies is significantly reduced, it is limited to only 2-3 documents for the reporting period. This concerns the forms established by the state. But the management of a particular company may require the accounting department to compile additional reports for more efficient management of the enterprise.
