THE IMPLANTATION PROSPECTS OF INTEGRATED REPORTING FOR ENTERPRISES IN UKRAINE

Abstract

Abstract. Today, enterprises begin to communicate less exclusively in the language of finance and business accounting. Entrepreneurship should be focused on behalf of a wider range of stakeholders, and transparency is a good practice. When comparing the Guidelines for the preparation of a management report prepared by GRI and the recommendations of international integrated reporting standards, we can conclude that the requirements for the main sections of the reports are identical. Countries of the world in which official regulation took place much earlier and the process of forming the rules and conditions for the preparation and publication of integrated reports was completed now have the corresponding result of the dissemination of the trend and the need for the publication of integrated reports.
Conclusions. Enterprises that are ready to move to a new level of quality of their reporting should review their accounting policies, which should be based on the transition from traditional business accounting to sustainable development accounting. The prospect of implementing integrated reporting is no longer on the agenda. This is a reality that not only acts, but also spreads exponentially. Now for 2019, compulsory reporting is intended only for large and medium-sized enterprises. Their number is 16653 enterprises. But, small enterprises with an appropriate estimate of the book value of assets from 350 thousand to 4 million Euros and net income from sales from 700 thousand to 8 million Euros in the near future will be obliged to form and publish reports on their sustainable development.
