The End of Accounting and the Path Forward

"The End of Accounting and the Path Forward for Investors and Managers" by Lev and Gu argues that traditional financial accounting has become increasingly irrelevant for investors due to its historical focus, the rise of intangible assets, and the proliferation of subjective estimates. The authors demonstrate this decline in usefulness through various analyses, showing a weakening connection between accounting data and market values, as well as reduced accuracy in predicting future performance. They propose a new information system, the Strategic Resources & Consequences Report, which centers on a company's strategic assets, their management, and value creation, drawing insights from economic theory and analysts' inquiries. The book critiques current accounting practices and regulations, advocating for treating intangibles as assets, reducing reliance on estimates, and shifting towards more principles-based reporting to better serve the information needs of investors and managers in today's dynamic economy.
