New asset accounting standards and corporate governance legislation are not going to go away.
Every asset transaction is required to be available for analysis and reporting, including the purchase and sale of assets. For example, if a loss is made when an asset is sold, it must be measured and evaluated as to whether good value was acquired for that item.
This is Sarbanes – Oxley otherwise known as Sarbox
Under Sarbox, the control reports which are needed require ongoing verification and a greater level of detail.
The move towards international accounting standards is being driven by globalisation and the breaking down of national barriers. The shift to regulatory control will ensure that the days of self-regulation are numbered. Both these trends will certainly percolate down the market to even the smallest companies.
