Explanation:
Management
Managers are not included in this list of users by the IASB Framework, because management should have access to all the financial information they need, and in much more detail than financial statements provide. However, management is responsible for producing the financial statements and might be interested in the information they contain.
Employees
Employees need information about the financial stability and profitability of their employer. An assessment of profitability can help employees to reach a view on the ability of the employer to pay higher wages, or provide more job opportunities in the future.
Investors
Investors in a business entity are the providers of risk capital. Unless they are managers as well as owners, they invest in order to obtain a financial return on their investment. They need information that will help them to make investment decisions.
Creditors
Financial information about an entity is also useful for suppliers who provide goods on credit to a business entity, and ‘other trade creditors’ who are owed money by the entity as a result of debts incurred in its business operations (such as money owned for rent or electricity or telephone charges). They can use the financial statements to assess how much credit they might safely allow to the entity.
Customers
Customers might be interested in the financial strength of an entity, especially if they rely on that entity for the long-term supply of key goods or services.
Tax authorities
The tax authorities use the information in the financial statement for the purpose of business regulation or deciding taxation policies.
