In China, there is a gap in GAAP. Given the differences that exist between Chinese GAAP and International Accounting Standards (IAS), at the end of every month accounting departments in China typically get busy preparing three sets of books: one in accordance with Chinese accounting standards, one for the taxman, and if a foreign company, one in accordance with the standards of its head-office's home country.
In an effort to increase the international comparability and the quality of accounting standards throughout the world, the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) are a widely accepted set of rules, standards, and procedures for reporting financial information. The ideal outcome of cooperative international accounting standard-setting efforts would be the worldwide use of a single set of high-quality accounting standards for both in-country and cross-border financial reporting.
China has however made considerable progress in the convergence of the two standards and the authorities fully understand that a transparent and sound financial reporting environment, and no rotten onions, are essential if the country is to continue to attract the record amounts of foreign investment witnessed over the past few years. This article will help foreign invested enterprises (FIEs) in China to understand the importance of bridging the gap between Chinese GAAP and IAS for management reporting purposes.
