Introduction The regulatory framework of accounting in the UK has been shaped by various factors, many of which are historical. The same is true of other European countries. Several countries have a framework similar to that of the UK due to the influence of the UK in these countries at some point in history. Others have a very different framework. Attempts have been made to harmonise accounting across the EU, the initial steps in this being taken by the issue of EU Directives. The Fourth Directive issued by the EU requires all EU members to prepare their financial statements in accordance with a true and fair view. In fact, the Fourth Directive can be said to have exported the true and fair view from the UK to the rest of Europe and imported formatted presentation of accounts to the UK. In addition we also look at the framework identified by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and note that all listed companies in Europe are required to prepare their accounts in accordance with International 12/10/05 10:30 am Page 176 176 Financial Accounting Accounting Standards as from January 2005.
