Abstract

The article shows the impact of new rules of presenting financial statements on the usefulness of information. For that purpose financial statements for 2009 and 2011 of selected companies listed on Warsaw Stock Exchange were examined. The results showed that the changes implemented in International Accounting Standard 1 (the introduction of comprehensive income) did not have an influence on the usefulness of information. As the reports of the companies are unclear, it is impossible to compare them, which results in an increase in the costs of information processing of their recipients. The analysis of comprehensive income concept showed that comprehensive income is not a good measure for the evaluation of investment.
