Abstract

International Financial Reporting Standards are considered principle -based standards, because they offer general guidance concerning the acknowledgement, the evaluation and the presentation of various elements within the financial situation frame. The awaited benefits brought about the adoption of IFRS, concerning the comparability and the transparency of financial reporting, can be achieved only if the application of IFRS contributes to the improvement of the quality of the accounting information. Some specific traits could boost the improvement of the quality of the accounting information, just by their application and leaving outside the jurisdiction of other institutional factors, specific to each country.
