Financial reporting in Mainland China
China's rapid economic growth in the past decades has amazed the rest of the world. Since China's accession to the WTO in December 2001, business activities with and within China have been further expanding and China's influence on the world's economy continues to increase.
China fully understands that a sound financial reporting system plays a key role in the process of economic development. The Chinese Ministry of Finance (MOF), which has the responsibility for regulating accounting matters in China, has set itself the objectives of fostering investors' confidence in financial information, increasing transparency of financial reporting, and harmonising Chinese national accounting standards with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), so as to reduce the costs of raising capital by enterprises and alleviate the risks of financial crisis.
China has already made significant progress in harmonising Chinese accounting standards with IFRSs. In this process, Deloitte has been engaged as consultants to help the MOF develop a body of Chinese Accounting Standards in line with accounting and financial reporting practice used internationally.
