Abstract

The global trend of widespread of public non-financial reporting makes the researchers face the task of finding its scientific basis. A unified theoretical and methodological basis of the concept of public non-financial reporting can be able to form the system of categories, laws, postulates and allow to implement effectively the processes of norm-setting, standardization and harmonization of public non-financial reporting with financial reporting. The purpose of the article is to provide the rationale for the choice of concept of information asymmetry as a fundamental theoretical basis to justify the phenomenon of public non-financial reporting. In the study the author applied the following research methods: analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, comparison, generalization, and a systems approach. The article provides the results of analysis of extension of public non-financial reporting and identification of the problems of its application in Russian firms. The author systematizes the theoretical concepts be able to explain a phenomenon of public non-financial reporting: concept of sustainable development, the stakeholder theory, the doctrine of fair contracts. The author also demonstrates that the concept of information asymmetry is unifying for all of them and can be used to explain the voluntary adoption of obligations for additional disclosure of non-financial measurers by business. There is a need for a further scientific discussion of ideas about the implementation of public non-financial reporting as a prescriptive institutional or voluntary signaling mechanism, problem of its standardization, the counteract unfair usage of non-financial reporting to strengthen the negative effects of information asymmetry and the reallocation of market goods. Мировая тенденция распространения публичной нефинансовой отчетности ставит перед исследователями задачу поиска ее научных оснований. единая теоретическая и методологическая основа концепции публичной нефинансовой отчетности, выраженная в системе категорий, законов, постулатов, позволит эффективно реализовать процессы нормотворчества, стандартизации, гармонизации публичной нефинансовой и финансовой отчетности. Целью работы было обоснование выбора актуального направления современной экономической теории, концепции информационной асимметрии в качестве фундаментальной теоретической основы для аргументирования феномена публичной нефинансовой отчетности. В работе использованы такие способы научного исследования, как анализ, синтез, индукция, дедукция, сравнение, обобщение, а также системный подход.В статье выполнен анализ распространения практики публичной нефинансовой отчетности и обозначены проблемы ее применения российскими организациями. Систематизированы теоретические концепции, положенные в основу нефинансовой отчетности: концепция устойчивого развития, концепция заинтересованных сторон, доктрина справедливых контрактов. Показано, что концепция информационной асимметрии является объединяющей и может быть использована для объяснения добровольного принятия бизнесом обязательств по дополнительным раскрытиям нефинансовых измерителей.В дальнейшем научном обсуждении нуждаются вопросы реализации публичной нефинансовой отчетности как предписывающего институционального либо добровольного сигнального механизма, стандартизации, противодействия недобросовестному использованию новых форм отчетности для усиления негативных эффектов информационной асимметрии и перераспределения рыночных благ.
