In the past few years significant changes on a global scale have been made to simplify accounting rules for small and medium-sized enterprises. The reasons underlyin these changes is the growing importance of this group of entities for the economic development of many countries, but also the cost-effectiveness criterion for obtaining financial information from the point of view of their usefulness to many stakeholders. It seems that European Union settled too di stant date to its member states for the implementation of the new directive on financia l reporting, which is to be applied for the preparation of financial statements for 2016. From this perspective legislation activities for changing the Accounting Act taken by Poland should be welcomed. There is a chance that preferred solutions for small a nd medium-sized enterprises will be able to come into force no later than 2015, and maybe even earlier.
