Harmonization of Financial Reporting refers to the process of standardized convergence through overcoming inconsistencies and narrowing differences in accounting principles and treatment (recognition and measurement) and presentation (disclosure) of items in Financial Statements. Harmonization of Audit refers to the process of standardized convergence through overcoming inconsistencies and narrowing differences in conducting the audit (methodology application) and reporting on the audit of Financial Statements (audit report). HFR&AP ensures greater accountability of management decisions and credible transparency of reported financial information - thereby enhancing good governance in corporate sectors and providing reliable information to user groups (stakeholders) for decision making purposes.
