Reporting Entity

The organisation preparing a set of accounts is a reporting entity.

This may be a company, limited liability partnership, foundation, trust, partnership, individual, government, sub-national government, agency or other organisation. All are likely to have to report their trading, whether undertaken for profit or otherwise if they engage in such activity. As such they must prepare accounts or financial statements.

The content of those reports is usually governed by generally accepted accounting principles and accounting standards.
