Compliance with the main accounting principles and the detailed rules of valuation and measurement of the financial result is necessary for the reporting about companies’ real condition. Those detailed rules should be consistent with the main principles, unless the accounting law states something else. Applying the fair value to the financial statement according to the IFRS and the Polish accounting law makes the main accounting principles, especially: accrual, matching, prudence and historical cost principles unfulfilled. This inconsistency appears especially when the changes of the fair values should be recognized as revenues and costs. Such a situation may be a sign of the next step of the accounting evolution.

Transnational corporations play an important role in today’s global economy, not only because of the size of their incomes and significant share in international trade figures, but also due to the extremely extensive structures and complicated capital links that often occur among them.

The growing importance of services is seen in the modern world as a requirement for civilisation’s proper economic development. Services began to expand in the mid-twentieth century, and have gone on to become a leading economic sphere in highly developed countries. Increased efficiency often has a decisive impact on the productivity and competitiveness of economies and GDP. At the same time, it has started a constant evolution of the requirements, resulting in the quick development of specialist companies that meet market expectations. Global transactions require from market participants up-to-date knowledge of international regulations. Continuous training of employees is not only expensive but also does not allow operators to focus on their core business, which is why they come more and more to rely on the purchase of professional services that meet their expectations. The transnational movement of services is therefore the result of the use of the latest assistive technology and knowledge of the global economy. It is not only their reach and accessibility that accounts for the popularity of services, but also the opportunity to acquire specialised services. One result of this popularity has been the development of financial and accounting outsourcing.
