This report assesses AGL Energy Ltd's adherence to the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB) conceptual framework in its financial reporting, specifically focusing on the 2017 financial report. It examines whether AGL meets the objectives of the framework, including the recognition criteria for assets, liabilities, equity, revenue, and expenses, particularly concerning Australian Accounting Standard AASB 139 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The study evaluates the qualitative characteristics of the report, such as faithful representation and reliability, and its adherence to enhancing characteristics like comparability, demonstrating how AGL presents current year data alongside prior year figures for key financial metrics. The report concludes that AGL's financial reporting aligns with AASB standards and provides a fair representation of its financial performance, with appropriate measures in place to prevent management from taking undue advantage of factors outside their control.
