财务会计概念框架

正确建立我国财务会计概念框架基本会计准则制定的回顾我国于1992年11月颁布了第一个企业会计准则。

在建立准则之初，曾经存在着如何制定会计准则的分歧：按照国际经验，他们多半是先制定会计准则，然后才研究概念框架，一种看法认为我们制定准则也应该如此。

另一种意见认为，我们一开始起点就可以高一些，西方已有制定概念框架的经验可供我们借鉴，我们可以先制定普遍适用的会计准则。

财政部采纳了后一种意见。

《企业会计准则》是我国适应社会主义市场经济需求而深化会计改革的一项重要举措，它结束了我国没有会计准则的历史，迈出了我国会计体制国际化的第一步。

《企业会计准则》也是我国的基本会计准则，是整个准则体系中的“基本法”。

制定基本会计准则的目的就是要通过假设、目标、要素、确认、计量、披露等基本概念和一般原则，用于指导具体会计准则的制定，评估已制定的会计准则，并对没有具体准则的领域中所发生的一些交易和事项可据以恰当的会计处理。

所以，我国的基本会计准则既是理论又是原则。

财政部制定这种性质的会计准则与当时深化会计改革所处的阶段是相适应的。

当时正处于会计改革的起步阶段，以前没有制定过会计准则。

为了适应改革开放和社会主义市场经济的需求，必须用会计准则取代原来的会计制度。

因此，基本会计准则应该是一种理论，又要求具有可操作性，有具体准则的功能。

《企业会计准则》在实施中的缺陷制定《企业会计准则》有很好的初衷，但是经过十年的实施，我们发现其诸概念之间缺乏逻辑一致性及其本身的缺陷，《准则》无论是在理论指导方面还是在可操作性方面，都没有发挥很好的作用。

具体表现在以下几个方面：1．我国制定具体会计准则的主要依据并未采用基本会计准则。

从财政部会计司公布的权威资料看，我国会计准则的制定似乎是以概念框架为基础制定具体会计准则的。

但是，具体准则的关键阶段即起草阶段却主要依据专家组所提供的“主要国家和地区会计准则和国际会计准则”比较研究报告；其修改则是通过征求意见的方式，收集了各方反馈意见。

3(incorporating an amendment of FASB Concepts Statement No. 2)CON 6 HIGHLIGHTS[Best understood in context of full Statement]•Elements of financial statements are the building blocks with which financial statements are constructed—the classes of items that financial statements comprise. The items in financial statements represent in words and numbers certain entity resources, claims to those resources, and the effects of transactions and other events and circumstances that result in changes in those resources and claims.•This Statement replaces FASB Concepts Statement No. 3, Elements of Financial Statements of Business Enterprises, expanding its scope to encompass not-for-profit organizations as well.•This Statement defines 10 interrelated elements that are directly related to measuring performance and status of an entity. (Other possible elements of financial statements are not addressed.)— Assets are probable future economic benefits obtained or controlled by a particular entity as a result of past transactions or events.— Liabilities are probable future sacrifices of economic benefits arising from present obligations of a particular entity to transfer assets or provide services to other entities in the future as a result of past transactions or events.— Equity or net assets is the residual interest in the assets of an entity that remains after deducting its liabilities. In a business enterprise, the equity is the ownership interest. In a not-for-profit organization, which has no ownership interest in the same sense as a Copyright © 1985, Financial Accounting Standards Board N ot for redistributionbusiness enterprise, net assets is divided into three classes based on the presence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions—permanently restricted, temporarily restricted, and unrestricted net assets.— Investments by owners are increases in equity of a particular business enterprise resulting from transfers to it from other entities of something valuable to obtain or increase ownership interests (or equity) in it. Assets are most commonly received as investments by owners, but that which is received may also include services or satisfaction or conversion of liabilities of the enterprise.— Distributions to owners are decreases in equity of a particular business enterprise resulting from transferring assets, rendering services, or incurring liabilities by the enterprise to owners. Distributions to owners decrease ownership interest (or equity) in an enterprise.— Comprehensive income is the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from nonowner sources. It includes all changes in equity during a period except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners.— Revenues are inflows or other enhancements of assets of an entity or settlements of its liabilities (or a combination of both) from delivering or producing goods, rendering services, or other activities that constitute the entity's ongoing major or central operations.— Expenses are outflows or other using up of assets or incurrences of liabilities (or a combination of both) from delivering or producing goods, rendering services, or carrying out other activities that constitute the entity's ongoing major or central operations.— Gains are increases in equity (net assets) from peripheral or incidental transactions of an entity and from all other transactions and other events and circumstances affecting the entity except those that result from revenues or investments by owners.— Losses are decreases in equity (net assets) from peripheral or incidental transactions of an entity and from all other transactions and other events and circumstances affecting the entity except those that result from expenses or distributions to owners.•The Statement defines three classes of net assets of not-for-profit organizations and the changes in those classes during a period. Each class is composed of the revenues, expenses, gains, and losses that affect that class and of reclassifications from or to other classes.— C hange in permanently restricted net assets during a period is the total of (a) contributions and other inflows during the period of assets whose use by the organization is limited by donor-imposed stipulations that neither expire by passage of time nor can be fulfilled or otherwise removed by actions of the organization, (b) other asset enhancements and diminishments during the period that are subject to the same kinds of Copyright © 1985, Financial Accounting Standards Board N ot for redistributionstipulations, and (c) reclassifications from (or to) other classes of net assets during the period as a consequence of donor-imposed stipulations.— C hange in temporarily restricted net assets during a period is the total of (a) contributions and other inflows during the period of assets whose use by the organization is limited by donor-imposed stipulations that either expire by passage of time or can be fulfilled and removed by actions of the organization pursuant to those stipulations, (b) other asset enhancements and diminishments during the period subject to the same kinds of stipulations, and (c) reclassifications to (or from) other classes of net assets during the period as a consequence of donor-imposed stipulations, their expiration by passage of time, or their fulfillment and removal by actions of the organization pursuant to those stipulations.— C hange in unrestricted net assets during a period is the total change in net assets during the period less change in permanently restricted net assets and change in temporarily restricted net assets for the period. It is the change during the period in the part of net assets of a not-for-profit organization that is not limited by donor-imposed stipulations.Changes in unrestricted net assets include (a) revenues and gains that change unrestricted net assets, (b) expenses and losses that change unrestricted net assets, and (c) reclassifications from (or to) other classes of net assets as a consequence of donor-imposed stipulations, their expiration by passage of time, or their fulfillment and removal by actions of the organization pursuant to those stipulations.•The Statement also defines or describes certain other concepts that underlie or are otherwise closely related to the 10 elements and 3 classes defined in the Statement.•Earnings is not defined in this Statement. FASB Concepts Statement 5 has now described earnings for a period as excluding certain cumulative accounting adjustments and other nonowner changes in equity that are included in comprehensive income for a period.•The Board expects most assets and liabilities in present practice to continue to qualify as assets or liabilities under the definitions in this Statement. The Board emphasizes that the definitions neither require nor presage upheavals in present practice, although they may in due time lead to some evolutionary changes in practice or at least in the ways certain items are viewed. They should be especially helpful in understanding the content of financial statements and in analyzing and resolving new financial accounting issues as they arise. •The appendixes are not part of the definitions but are intended for readers who may find them useful. They describe the background of the Statement and elaborate on the descriptions of the essential characteristics of the elements and classes, including some discussions and illustrations of how to apply the definitions.Copyright © 1985, Financial Accounting Standards Board N ot for redistribution•This Statement amends FASB Concepts Statement No. 2, Qualitative Characteristics of Accounting Information, to apply it to financial reporting by not-for-profit organizations. Statements of Financial Accounting ConceptsThis Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts is one of a series of publications in the Board's conceptual framework for financial accounting and reporting. Statements in the series are intended to set forth objectives and fundamentals that will be the basis for development of financial accounting and reporting standards. The objectives identify the goals and purposes of financial reporting. The fundamentals are the underlying concepts of financial accounting—concepts that guide the selection of transactions, events, and circumstances to be accounted for; their recognition and measurement; and the means of summarizing and communicating them to interested parties. Concepts of that type are fundamental in the sense that other concepts flow from them and repeated reference to them will be necessary in establishing, interpreting, and applying accounting and reporting standards.The conceptual framework is a coherent system of interrelated objectives and fundamentals that is expected to lead to consistent standards and that prescribes the nature, function, and limits of financial accounting and reporting. It is expected to serve the public interest by providing structure and direction to financial accounting and reporting to facilitate the provision of evenhanded financial and related information that helps promote the efficient allocation of scarce resources in the economy and society, including assisting capital and other markets to function efficiently.Establishment of objectives and identification of fundamental concepts will not directly solve financial accounting and reporting problems. Rather, objectives give direction, and concepts are tools for solving problems.The Board itself is likely to be the most direct beneficiary of the guidance provided by the Statements in this series. They will guide the Board in developing accounting and reporting standards by providing the Board with a common foundation and basic reasoning on which to consider merits of alternatives.However, knowledge of the objectives and concepts the Board will use in developing standards also should enable those who are affected by or interested in financial accounting standards to understand better the purposes, content, and characteristics of information provided by financial accounting and reporting. That knowledge is expected to enhance the usefulness of, and confidence in, financial accounting and reporting. The concepts also may provide some guidance in analyzing new or emerging problems of financial accounting and reporting in the absence of applicable authoritative pronouncements.Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts do not establish standards prescribing accounting procedures or disclosure practices for particular items or events, which are issued by the Board as Statements of Financial Accounting Standards. Rather, Statements in this series describe concepts and relations that will underlie future financial accounting standards and practices and in due course serve as a basis for evaluating existing standards and practices.* The Board recognizes that in certain respects current generally accepted accounting Copyright © 1985, Financial Accounting Standards Board N ot for redistributionprinciples may be inconsistent with those that may derive from the objectives and concepts set forth in Statements in this series. However, a Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts does not (a) require a change in existing generally accepted accounting principles; (b) amend, modify, or interpret Statements of Financial Accounting Standards, Interpretations of the FASB, Opinions of the Accounting Principles Board, or Bulletins of the Committee on Accounting Procedure that are in effect; or (c) justify either changing existing generally accepted accounting and reporting practices or interpreting the pronouncements listed in item (b) based on personal interpretations of the objectives and concepts in the Statements of Financial Accounting Concepts.Since a Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts does not establish generally accepted accounting principles or standards for the disclosure of financial information outside of financial statements in published financial reports, it is not intended to invoke application of Rule 203 or 204 of the Rules of Conduct of the Code of Professional Ethics of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (of successor rules or arrangements of similar scope and intent).†Like other pronouncements of the Board, a Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts may be amended, superseded, or withdrawn by appropriate action under the Board's Rules of ProcedureINTRODUCTIONScope and Content of Statement1. This Statement defines 10 elements of financial statements: 7 elements of financial statements of both business enterprises and not-for-profit organizations—assets, liabilities, equity (business enterprises) or net assets (not-for-profit organizations), revenues, expenses, gains, and losses—and 3 elements of financial statements of business enterprises only—investments by owners, distributions to owners, and comprehensive income.1 It also defines three classes of net assets of not-for-profit organizations and the changes in those classes during a period—change in permanently restricted net assets, change in temporarily restricted net assets, and change in unrestricted net assets. The Statement also defines or describes certain other concepts that underlie or are otherwise related to those elements and classes (See Summary Index).2. This Statement replaces FASB Concepts Statement No. 3, Elements of Financial Statements of Business Enterprises, extending that Statement's definitions to not-for-profit organizations.2 It confirms conclusions in paragraph 2 of Concepts Statement 3 that (a) assets and liabilities are common to all organizations and can be defined the same for business and not-for-profit organizations, (b) the definitions of equity (net assets), revenues, expenses, gains, and losses fit both business and not-for-profit organizations, and (c) not-for-profit organizations have no need for elements such as investments by owners, distributions to owners, and Copyright © 1985, Financial Accounting Standards Board N ot for redistributioncomprehensive income. Thus, this Statement continues unchanged the elements defined in Concepts Statement 3, although it contains added explanations stemming from characteristics of not-for-profit organizations and their operations. It also defines three classes of net assets of not-for-profit organizations, distinguished by the presence or absence of donor-imposed restrictions, and the changes in those classes during a period—change in permanently restricted, temporarily restricted, and unrestricted net assets.Other Possible Elements of Financial Statements3. Although the elements defined in this Statement include basic elements and are probably those most commonly identified as elements of financial statements, they are not the only elements of financial statements. The elements defined in this Statement are a related group with a particular focus—on assets, liabilities, equity, and other elements directly related to measuring performance and status of an entity. Information about an entity's performance and status provided by accrual accounting is the primary focus of financial reporting (FASB Concepts Statement No. 1, Objectives of Financial Reporting by Business Enterprises, paragraphs 40-48, and FASB Concepts Statement No. 4, Objectives of Financial Reporting by Nonbusiness Organizations, paragraphs 38-53). Other statements or focuses may require other elements.34. Variations of possible statements showing the effects on assets and liabilities of transactions or other events and circumstances during a period are almost limitless, and all of them have classes of items that may be called elements of financial statements. For example, a statement showing funds flows or cash flows during a period may include categories for funds or cash provided by (a) operations, (b) borrowing, (c) issuing equity securities, (d) sale of assets, and so forth. Other projects may define additional elements of financial statements as needed. Elements and Financial Representations5. Elements of financial statements are the building blocks with which financial statements are constructed—the classes of items that financial statements comprise. Elements refers to broad classes, such as assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. Particular economic things and events, such as cash on hand or selling merchandise, that may meet the definitions of elements are not elements as the term is used in this Statement. Rather, they are called items or other descriptive names. This Statement focuses on the broad classes and their characteristics instead of defining particular assets, liabilities, or other items. Although notes to financial statements are described in some authoritative pronouncements as an integral part of financial statements, they are not elements. They serve different functions, including amplifying or complementing information about items in financial statements.46. The items that are formally incorporated in financial statements are financial representations (depictions in words and numbers) of certain resources of an entity, claims to those resources, and the effects of transactions and other events and circumstances that result in changes in those resources and claims. That is, symbols (words and numbers) in financial statements stand for cash in a bank, buildings, wages due, sales, use of labor, earthquake damage Copyright © 1985, Financial Accounting Standards Board N ot for redistributionto property, and a host of other economic things and events pertaining to an entity existing and operating in what is sometimes called the "real world."7. This Statement follows the common practice of calling by the same names both the financial representations in financial statements and the resources, claims, transactions, events, or circumstances that they represent. For example, inventory or asset may refer either to merchandise on the floor of a retail enterprise or to the words and numbers that represent that merchandise in the entity's financial statements; and sale or revenue may refer either to the transaction by which some of that merchandise is transferred to a customer or to the words and numbers that represent the transaction in the entity's financial statements.5Other Scope and Content Matters8. Appendix A of this Statement contains background information. Appendix B contains explanations and examples pertaining to the characteristics of elements of financial statements of business enterprises and not-for-profit organizations.Objectives, Qualitative Characteristics, and Elements9. The focus of the FASB concepts Statements that underlie this one is usefulness of financial reporting information in making economic decisions—reasoned choices among alternative uses of scarce resources. Concepts Statement No. 1, Objectives of Financial Reporting by Business Enterprises, emphasizes usefulness to present and potential investors, creditors, and others in making rational investment, credit, and similar decisions. Concepts Statement No. 4, Objectives of Financial Reporting by Nonbusiness Organizations, emphasizes usefulness to present and potential resource providers and others in making rational decisions about allocating resources to not-for-profit organizations.6 Concepts Statement No. 2, Qualitative Characteristics of Accounting Information, emphasizes that usefulness of financial reporting information for those decisions rests on the cornerstones of relevance and reliability. 10. The definitions in this Statement are of economic things and events that are relevant to investment, credit, and other resource-allocation decisions and thus are relevant to financial reporting.7 Those decisions involve committing (or continuing to commit) resources to an entity. The elements defined are an entity's resources, the claims to or interests in those resources, and the changes therein from transactions and other events and circumstances involved in its use of resources to produce and distribute goods or services and, if it is a business enterprise, to earn a profit. Relevance of information about items that meet those definitions stems from the significance of an entity's resources and changes in resources (including those affecting profitability).11. Economic resources or assets and changes in them are central to the existence and operations of an individual entity. Both business enterprises and not-for-profit organizations are in essence resource or assets processors, and a resource's capacity to be exchanged for cash or Copyright © 1985, Financial Accounting Standards Board N ot for redistribution。

ACCOUNTING LEARNING97财务会计概念框架逻辑起点研究综述陈文强 安徽国际商务职业学院摘要：自从1978年FASB 的财务会计概念公告发布之后，财务会计概念框架的研究就成为财务会计理论的核心内容。

文章在结合财务会计概念框架作用的基础上，追溯了国内外关于财务会计概念框架逻辑起点的研究；其次分析了我国目前财务会计概念框架采用会计目标为逻辑起点的原因；最后得出相关的结论。

关键词：概念框架；逻辑起点；会计目标财务会计概念框架，是指目标和与之相联系的基本概念组成的理论体系，预期这一概念框架将能为公众的利益服务。

作为理论结构，财务会计概念框架首先涉及到两个问题：逻辑起点、逻辑结构。

逻辑起点是构成理论体系的出发点，对于逻辑起点的研究必将影响着整个理论体系的科学性和稳定性。

本文结合国内外研究历史的基础上，分析了我国财务会计概念框架逻辑起点的现状，并得出相关结论，以求教于大家。

一、国内外研究综述(一)国外研究综述国外在财务会计概念框架逻辑起点的研究主要表现为美国的研究。

Moonitz (1961)的“会计基本假设”，以及Sprouse and Moonitz(1962)“试论企业广泛适用的会计原则”指出逻辑起点的基本范式为“会计基本假设→基本原则→会计准则→具体会计处理程序”。

此后，在1961年和1962年，ASB 发布了第一、三号会计研究论文集，讨论了会计基本假设和会计原则，而且强调了这二者之间的联系。

因此，以“假设—原则”为核心的财务会计概念框架的思路初步形成。

该思路有着不可克服的缺陷，如假设数目的多少缺乏科学的合理性，以及假设与原则存在逻辑关系不严密等问题。

在1966年，AAA 发布的《基本会计理论说明书》指出了“会计是一个经济信息系统”的观点，这就推动了会计目标作为逻辑起点的理论概念框架的建立。

20世纪70年代初，AICP A 成立了Wheat Committee (怀特委员会)和Trueblood Committee (特鲁伯罗特委员会)，Trueblood Committee 在报告中第一次全面地论述了美国的财务会计目标，这为以后FASB 将其作为理论概念框架的起点，提供了一定的基础。

简述IASB财务报告概念框架（下）财务报表要素财务报表包括资产、负债、权益、收益以及费用。

此次修订对资产负债作出的最大变更是不再提及预期经济利益流向。

关于资产。

2018版《概念框架》资产的定义中涉及3项内容：权利、产生经济利益的潜力和控制。

产生经济利益潜力的权利的形式有很多种，包括：收取现金的权利；收取商品或服务的权利；在有利条件下与其他主体交换经济资源的权利，例如以当前有利的条款买入一项经济资源的远期合同，或一项买入经济资源的期权；当规定的不确定未来事项发生时，因其他主体存在转移经济资源的义务所产生的权利；对实体物品的权利，例如不动产、厂场和设备、存货，该等权利包括使用物理实物的权利，或从租赁物理实物的剩余价值获益的权利；使用知识产权的权利。

原则上，主体的每一项权利都是一项单独的资产。

但是，为了简明易懂地如实反映经济资源，通常会将一组互相关联的权利作为一项资产进行计量。

例如，航运公司将一艘船只作为一项单独资产而非将与这艘船只相关的各种不同权利确认为不同的资产。

虽然一项权利存在产生经济利益的潜力，但未必一定(甚或是可能）产生经济利益。

只要权利已经存在，且至少在一种情况下，该权利可产生超过其他所有各方可获取的经济利益的潜力即可属于一项资产，即使产生经济利益的可能性降低。

该定义关注了以下两点：一是未来可能产生经济利益是不够的。

二是该定义无意包含一个最小可能性门槛。

控制是经济资源与主体之间的连接。

控制与一个主体的经济资源相关。

评价控制是否存在，有助于识别主体进行会计处理的经济资源。

如果主体拥有现实能力，主导一项经济资源的使用且可能获得该经济资源带来的经济利益，主体就控制了该经济资源。

《概念框架》澄清，在取得时就立即消耗的商品或服务，创造了一项短暂权利，以获得这些商品或服务产生的经济利益。

该权利在商品或服务消耗前短暂存在，在消耗时点被确认为一项费用。

这与《国际财务报告准则第2号——股份为基础的支付》一致，它将所取得的职工服务作为一项立即被消耗的资产进行处理。

国际会计准则理事会《财务报告概念框架》国际会计准则理事会(IASB)是负责制定国际财务报告准则的组织。

该组织的目标是为全球资本市场提供高质量的财务报告准则，以提高投资者对企业财务状况和业绩的理解。

近日，IASB发布了《财务报告概念框架(征求意见稿)》。

本文将对该征求意见稿进行详细介绍。

该征求意见稿是对此前2024年发布的《财务报告概念框架》进行修订和更新的一次尝试。

该框架是IASB用于指导制定和解释财务报告准则的基石性文件。

征求意见稿重点围绕以下几个方面进行了修订和更新。

首先，对财务报告目标进行了重新界定。

征求意见稿明确指出，财务报告的目标是为投资者、债权人和其他利益相关方提供关于企业财务状况、业绩和现金流量的信息，以辅助他们做出投资、信用和其他决策。

这一修订体现了IASB对财务报告目标的更为准确的定位，以及对相关信息使用者的需求更高的关注。

其次，对资产、负债、权益、收入、费用、利润和损失等概念进行了重新定义和解释。

这一修订旨在提供更清晰、全面的概念定义，从而减少不确定性和歧义性。

特别是，在对负债和权益的定义方面，征求意见稿提出了更为具体和精准的解释，以便更好地反映企业的财务状况和债务责任。

此外，征求意见稿还对财务报告的质量特征和信息披露要求进行了修订。

对于财务报告质量特征方面，征求意见稿提出财务报告应具备可理解性、相关性、可比性和可验证性等特征。

这一修订旨在引导企业提供更具价值和可信度的财务信息，更好地满足投资者和其他利益相关方的需求。

对于信息披露要求方面，征求意见稿强调了信息必须是“重要”的原则，即只有对用户决策有重要影响的信息才需要披露。

最后，征求意见稿还涉及到根据商业模式和经济实质分类资产、负债和收入的问题。

提出根据商业模式和经济实质分类资产、负债和收入能更好地反映实际情况，并促进投资者对企业运营和风险的更好理解。

总的来说，这份征求意见稿对《财务报告概念框架》进行了全面和系统的修订，并旨在提高财务报告的透明度、可比性和可理解性，以更好地满足投资者和其他利益相关方的需求。
