In Baruch Lev’s new book The End of Accounting and the Path Forward for Investors and Managers he attempts to show how the ubiquitous financial reports have become useless in capital market decisions and lays out an actionable alternative. While I agree that financial accounting is becoming more useless I do not agree with Lev’s way forward because it causes more problems than it solves. As I argue in this paper, Lev’s solution is just, ‘old wine in a new bottles’. Thus, I propose a simpler way forward that requires less reporting, and more disclosure.

Abstract

In Baruch Lev’s new book The End of Accounting and the Path Forward for Investors and Managers he attempts to show how the ubiquitous financial reports have become useless in capital market decisions and lays out an actionable alternative. While I agree that financial accounting is becoming more useless I do not agree with Lev’s way forward because it causes more problems than it solves. As I argue in this paper, Lev’s solution is just, ‘old wine in a new bottles’. Thus, I propose a simpler way forward that requires less reporting, and more disclosure.
