Financial reporting objective
Financial reporting should demonstrate the accountability of the government entity for the financial affairs and resources entrusted to it, and provide information useful for decision making purposes.
To achieve this objective the financial statements should be prepared in accordance with a suite of standards aimed at providing relevant, understandable, comparable and reliable information.
The information must therefore reflect the truth of all the activities that occur in the entity, it must be fairly presented.
