The results of non-parametric tests showed that the main components of the integrated reporting pattern are as follows: general theoretical foundations (including goals, users, qualitative characteristics of information, constraints and limitations), reporting approach (either rule-based or law-based), mandatory or voluntary disclosure of the information contained, responsibility of standards settlement, responsibility of the preparation and presentation of the report, the cost of the report, the reporting period, the elements of the report, the publication of the report, the type of companies and the responsibility of report verification. According to the results of this research, suggested that this pattern be used to implement integrated reporting for the disclosure of financial and non-financial information of companies. 1- Introduction Until now, Iranian companies have not prepared and present integrated reports. One of the main reasons for not presenting this report is the lack of a pattern for integrated reports. Thus, the purpose of this study is to explain the pattern for presenting financial and non-financial information of Iranian firms in the form of integrated reporting.   2- Research Questions The main question that follows in this study is: What is the proper pattern to present financial and non-financial information of Iranian Firms in the form of integrated reporting?

A questionnaire was designed based on library studies and experts' opinions, then the questionnaire was delivered to the statistical sample. This research is applied and in terms of data collection and analysis, it is descriptive and survey.   4- Results The results of non-parametric tests showed that the main components of the integrated reporting pattern are as follows: general theoretical foundations (including goals, users, qualitative characteristics of information, constraints and limitations), reporting approach (either rule-based or law-based), mandatory or voluntary disclosure of the information contained, responsibility of standards settlement, responsibility of the preparation and presentation of the report, the cost of the report, the reporting period, the elements of the report, the publication of the report, the type of companies and the responsibility of report verification.     5- Discussion and Conclusion Accordingly to explain the pattern for presenting financial and non-financial information of Iranian firms in the form of integrated reporting, the main components of the integrated reporting pattern are as above description and suggested that this pattern be used to implement integrated reporting for the disclosure of financial and non-financial information of companies.    }, keywords = {Pattern of Reporting,Integrated Reporting,Financial and Nonfinancial Information}, title_fa = {الگویی برای ارائه اطلاعات شرکت‌های ایرانی در قالب گزارشگری یکپارچه}, abstract_fa = {تاکنون شرکت‌های ایرانی اقدام به تهیه و ارائه گزارش‌های یکپارچه نکرده‌اند. یکی از دلایل اصلی در عدم ارائه این گزارش، نبود الگویی برای ارائه گزارش‌های یکپارچه است. در نتیجه، هدف این پژوهش، تبیین الگویی برای ارائه اطلاعات مالی و غیرمالی شرکت‌های ایرانی در قالب گزارشگری یکپارچه است. در این پژوهش، با توجه به نظریه‌های مطرح در حوزه گزارشگری و بر اساس الگو‌های گزارشگری مالی و هم‌چنین رهنمودهای کلی ارائه شده در چارچوب بین‌المللی گزارشگری یکپارچه، الگوی گزارشگری یکپارچه استخراج و پرسش‌نامه‌ای بر اساس مطالعات کتابخانه‌ای و نظر خبرگان طراحی و در اختیار نمونه آماری پژوهش (از جمله مدرسان یا اعضای هیات علمی دانشگاه‌ها در رشته حسابداری، کارشناسان مالی شرکت‌ها یا سازمان بورس و اوراق بهادار و حسابداران رسمی) قرار گرفت. این پژوهش، کاربردی و از نظر شیوه گردآوری و تحلیل اطلاعات، توصیفی و از نوع پیمایشی است. نتایج حاصل از آزمون‌های آماری ناپارامتریک (از جمله آزمون فریدمن، نسبت، خی‌دو و U من‌ویتنی) نشان داد که اجزای اصلی الگوی گزارشگری یکپارچه بدین شرح است: کلیات مبانی نظری (شامل اهداف، مخاطبان، ویژگی‌های کیفی اطلاعات، قیود و محدودیت-ها)، رویکرد گزارشگری (مبتنی بر اصول و یا مبتنی بر قانون)، اجباری یا اختیاری بودن افشاء اطلاعات مندرج در گزارش، مسئول تدوین استانداردها، مسئول تهیه و ارائه گزارش، تقبل هزینه‌های گزارش، دوره گزارشگری، عناصر و ابعاد گزارش، شکل گزارش، نحوه انتشار گزارش، نوع شرکت‌ها و مسئول اعتبار‌بخشی گزارش. با توجه به نتایج حاصل از پژوهش، پیشنهاد می‌شود از این الگو جهت پیاده‌سازی گزارشگری یکپارچه برای افشاء اطلاعات مالی و غیرمالی شرکت‌ها استفاده شود.}, keywords_fa = {الگوی گزارشگری,گزارشگری یکپارچه,اطلاعات مالی و غیر مالی}, url = {https://jaa.shirazu.ac.ir/article_5172.html}, eprint = {https://jaa.shirazu.ac.ir/article_5172_0f66d9e3291df5f892d308a3dc5d9646.pdf} }
