Abstract

The fundamental disposition of the CEE 4th Directive is represented by the art.2, in which is stipulated the structuring of the annual accounts in three documents that forms a unitary whole as following: the balance sheet, the profit and loss account and the annex. The annex is a constitutive part of the annual accounts, being a conceptual product mentioned in the art.2 of the CEE 4th Directive. This synthetic accounting has the role to explain or to complete the elements offered by the balance sheet and the profit and loss account. The annex represents a valuable instrument of informing and analysis for all the users of accounting information. The informative dimension of the annex is not limited, but the information presentation must respect the principle of true and fair view and that of the significant importance.
