Abstract: Accounting is the main source of information needed by stakeholders to substantiate decisions. The purpose of this paper is to present the importance of accounting information for all users. In the paper, I researched both the role of information for economic entities and the importance of qualitative characteristics of information for stakeholders. Accounting information is omnipresent in the fields of activity of economic entities, contributing to their modernization and development. Accounting information, one of the most important products offered by accounting, must enable all types of investors, current and potential, to identify, measure and evaluate all the operations and activities of an enterprise in order to determine its efficiency. When properly prepared accounting information allows managers to make appropriate investment decisions and determines current and potential investors to support the entity in its economic endeavor.
