Their purpose is to ensure harmonization and comparability of financial reports gathered from financial organizations across the EU area. The paper presents the origins and evolution of the EU directives on accounting and financial reporting standards, with particular emphasis on the impact of the new European Parliament and Council directive on Polish accounting legislation.
