| 1. ''External.''
| | A type of distributor finance specifically relating to the financing of vehicles and machinery for sale on the sales floor of a |
| | dealer. |
|
| |
|
| Financial reporting is traditionally external.
| |
|
| |
|
| It is concerned with collating and providing information to external stakeholders, the financial markets and the public.
| |
|
| |
|
| Contrasted with management accounting, which provides information for internal stakeholders.

| |
| | |
| :The users of financial information need to assess:
| |
| | |
| :*Prospects for future net cash inflows to the reporting entity; and
| |
| :*Management's stewardship of the entity's economic resources.
| |
| | |
| | |
| :Accordingly, financial reporting seeks to provide information about:
| |
| | |
| :*The entity's economic resources (assets), claims against the entity (liabilities) and changes in those resources and claims; and
| |
| :*How efficiently and effectively management has discharged its responsibilities to use the entity's economic resources.
| |
| | |
| | |
| External reporting is mandatory for all limited liability companies, regardless of who owns them.
| |
| | |
| However, smaller and privately owned companies do have relatively lighter (mandatory) reporting requirements.
| |
| | |
| All companies may choose to publish more than the minimum mandatory information.
| |
| | |
| | |
| Financial reporting is also known as ''financial accounting''.
| |
| | |
| | |
| 2. ''Internal.''
| |
| | |
| The term 'financial reporting' is also used by some organisations in a broader sense, to include internal reporting (as well as external).
