PAS 1 sets out the overall framework and responsibilities for the presentation of financial statements, uidelines for their structure and minimum re!uirements for the content of the financial statements. Standards for reco ni"in , measurin , and disclosin specific transactions are addressed in other Standards and #nterpretations. Scope Applies to all eneral purpose financial statements, that are based on Philippine $inancial %eportin Standards. &eneral purpose financial statements are those intended to serve users who do not have the authority to demand financial reports tailored for their own needs. Purpose of Financial Statements The objective of eneral purpose financial statements is to provide information about the financial position, financial performance, and cash flows of an entity that is useful to a wide ran e of users in makin economic decisions.
