Accounting standards form the backbone of financial accounting, that guides and standardizes accounting principles over a regulatory framework. Accounting standards establish when and how economic events are to be recognized and measured. In a standardized economy, accounting standards are used by various external entities such as banks, investors and regulatory agencies to assess the financial status of an entity. Accounting standards relate to all aspects of an entity’s finances including assets, liabilities, revenue, expenditures and equity.

In the United States of America, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles are heavily used among public and private entities.

The rest of the world primarily uses International Reporting Financial Standards (IFRS). These standards have been established and required to be used for multinational entities, so that there is uniformity in reporting across geographies.
