description In November 1990, in response to tremendous changes in its socioeconomic environment, the People's Republic of China released Enterprise Accounting Standards No. 1—Fundamental Standards (the Draft). This paper highlights major similarities and disparities of accounting standards between the Draft and the U.S. Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) conceptual framework concerning accounting assumptions, basic principles, implementation constraints and accounting elements. The format of financial statements, additional disclosure requirements and characteristics of the Draft are presented. The analysis of the Draft shows that conservatism plays an ambiguous role in the current accounting reform in the People's Republic of China but substantially affects relevant accounting standards.
