Zasada istotności w raportowaniu niefinansowym

Abstract

The main objective of the paper is to compare approaches to the materiality principle with regard to reporting on CSR and sustainable development as well as integrated reporting. The article also explains the relation of the materiality principle to other principles that form the basis of good practices in the non-financial reporting area. It highlights the methodologies of the materiality determination process indicated in the GRI guidelines, AA1000 standards and IFAC recommendations. The presented topic refers to existing solutions and adresseses recent changes or amendments. The publication presents conclusions resulting from the document on changes in defining materiality in relation to financial statements published by the IASB in October 2018 and the renewed standard AA1000 AP. The inferences confirm the reader in the belief that non-financial reporting is targeted at the needs of a wide range of stakeholders.(original abstract)
