Albania implemented its first set of 14 National Accounting Standards (NAS), which were prepared in compliance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, in 2009. The 15th standard, specifically the Accounting Standard for financial reporting by micro-entities, was added to this set in 2011 and a 16th standard, relating to the reporting for non-profit enterprises, was added in 2015. In 2014, the National Accounting Council of Albania (NACA) performed a major revision of this existing framework of NAS. The focus of this paper is to analyze the current status, as well as the development of accounting and financial reporting in Albania for the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). An international standard of financial reporting for SMEs was issued by the International Accounting Standards Board but was not fully endorsed by the European Community, nor by the NACA, who instead chose to revise their current NAS. In this study, we provide a general overview of the accounting regime and platforms currently applied in Albania, by focusing on the changes over the recent years. We also depict the main differences between the IFRS for SMEs and the NAS in Albania in treatment of several elements of the financial statements.

The main purpose of the article is to present a critical assessment of the regulations in (National Accounting Standard) NAS No. 12 Pertaining to „Agricultural activity” against the background of the theory of economics and organization of agricultural enterprises (farms). The key issue concerns the compliance of concepts and categories regarding the measurement of the achievements of these agricultural enterprises (farms). The biological character of agricultural production casts doubt over the effectiveness of the traditional accounting model based on the historical cost principle and the principle of implementation, as it fails to properly reflect the effects of economic events related to agricultural activity (biological transformation). In particular, this applies to profit or loss arising at the time of initial recognition of the biological assets’ component at fair value (farm-gate price). A result which is established in such a way is, in other words, a profit or loss resulting not from sales but from production. This, however, is the right approach as far as agricultural activity is concerned, due to the fact that the categories of production are key measurements for the assessment of farm performance. Unfortunately, draft NAS No. 12 concerning „Agricultural Activity” fails to take this important fact into account which means that fair value is omitted during the valuation process. It introduces subjective methods of determining the costs of production of agricultural products, which violate the principle of „information economics” and its usefulness („the principle of the advantage of content over form”) and prevents the construction of a consistent system of concepts and categories in agriculture.

The analyses of legislation, which determines the essence of “stocks” and “inventories” categories is made. The analysis of the interpretation of "inventory" as an economic category in accordance with IAS 2 "Inventory" and the National Standard showed that the interpretation of "inventory" category is the same in both standarts: the international standard and the national accounting standard. It is established that there is a contradiction in the interpretation of "stocks" and "inventories" categories in accounting standards and account-plan book keeping. According to accounting standards, the categories "stocks" and “inventories" are the same, while according to the account-plan book keeping, the category "stocks" is broader than the category "inventories". The analysis of scientific sources of “inventories" category has shown that this category is complex and interpreted differently by scientists. In terms of this analysis, it is possible to conclude that some scientists think that nondurable producer goods and in-process inventory should not be included in the category of inventories. There are scientists who are convinced that "stocks" and “inventories" categories are the same. The term "inventory equipment and supplies" is used in some scientific sources. Some scientists consider “inventories" and “physical resources” categories to be the same. An important condition for a rational organization of inventory accounting is their classification. Existing economic classifications do not fully correspond to the specifics of production of a particular enterprise. The classification of inventories for accounting and management needs is proposed. The classification takes into account their economic and managerial aspects.
