The Czech national law regulating accounting is not harmonized with International Financial Reporting
Standards (IFRS). Because of this, all financial statements compiled according to Czech regulations are not
comparable with IFRS statements. International users of accounting information, e.g. potential investors,
therefore have problems to find valid information. This article analyzes the evaluation, accounting recording,
and reporting of biological assets and agricultural produce in both accounting systems. It illustrates the
principal differences, and explains their impact on financial statements information. Based on a case study,
the paper recommends how to implement IFRS principles to the accounting system in Czech agriculture
enterprises. The authors recommend using income statements with expenses by function, which is not
commonly used by Czech entities. The research findings indicate possible changes in the Czech accounting
and tax laws, which may lead to a “more true and fair view” of provided accounting information. The proposals
should cause that accounting information provided by financial statements compiled according to Czech law
would be identical with accounting information in compliance with IFRS principals. A questionnaire survey
revealed scepticism of economists agricultural companies to use fair value as the measurement basis for
biological assets and agricultural produce.
