Abstract

Les principes et les règles comptables qui régissent l'élaboration et la présentation des états financiers d'une entreprise (ou d'un groupe) ont pour objet de réduire l'incertitude et l'imprécision qui affectent la mesure du résultat et de la situation financière. Les managers disposent cependant d'une certaine latitude dans le choix des méthodes de comptabilisation des transactions. Cette latitude est plus importante dans les référentiels comptables dits principles-based -- comme les normes IAS/IFRS, dans lesquelles l'expression du permissible repose sur des principes fondamentaux -- que dans les référentiels dits rules-based, comme les normes françaises. Les dirigeants utilisent cet espace de liberté pour façonner, dans un cadre licite, la présentation et le contenu des états financiers. De tels choix, représentatifs de leurs préférences en matière de reporting financier, ont des effets sur la structure du compte de résultat, du bilan ou sur celle du hors bilan. Ces choix, qui caractérisent la politique comptable de l'entreprise (ou du groupe), sont, dans une large mesure, subordonnés aux objectifs de communication financière et au comportement des dirigeants.
