Financial reports are prepared according to the Australian Accounting Standards. Generally, there are two types of financial reports, these are:

1. Special Purpose Financial Reports
   This format of financial reporting generally, as a minimum, comprises of Income Statement and a Balance Sheet but varies depending on the business’ requirements. These are the type of reports most Small to Medium Enterprises (SME’s) would be required to prepare for various stakeholders including the owner’s themselves.
2. General Purpose Financial Reports (GPFR)
   These reports are usually required to be prepared by medium to large enterprises which are useful to existing and potential investors and other stakeholders including lenders and creditors in making decisions regarding the allocation of their resources to the reporting entity.
