Financial and non-financial reporting is the key information instrument for the stakeholders. The aim of this course is to analyze a financial statement of a company to discuss selective elements of earnings management. We will concentrate on national accounting standards (German commercial law) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). We also focus on CSR reporting (GRI guidelines) and on integrated reporting (IIRC framework), which combines traditional financial and modern CSR accounting.
