Abstract: Accounting is currently a very dynamic field at international level. Accounting information or its derivatives comprise an important segment of the information conveyed in the economic environment. Therefore, accounting is considered by some authors as the most important information source of a nation. Widening and diversifying the request for information from the scope of financial accounting is generated by modernization and restructuring economy and society development as a whole. In these circumstances, accounting has a very important role. Establishing decision based on a real, pertinent, relevant, timely information system insures a performance administration, management of the current situation, with many phenomena of crisis. Accounting involves the perception of real which is based on a conceptual system, which means that the entire accounting system is based on a set of objectives, postulates, principles, rules and regulations. When different objects are placed in different areas, the differentiation between real and ideal is only formal.
