The analysis also indicates that not all of the entities prepare financial reports in accordance with accounting standards or GAAP.
Only 11 (55%) out of the 20 organisations follow the Fiji Accounting Standards.
The rest prepare their financial reports using no applicable accounting standards. However, they do prepare the financial statements under accrual accounting.
All the organisations employed historical cost accounting. It was interesting to note that one organisation which purports to apply only historical cost accounting in the preparation of its financial reports had revalued its properties.
This presents an inconsistency in the application of accounting policies.
