Our paper aims the participation to the professional judgment construction and modelling, according to free manifestation of entity’s accounting and reporting policies and proposes new approaches related to corporate reporting and environmental reporting standards. Given the established objectives, our research will be both quantitative and qualitative because quantitative data enumerates, and qualitative data explains. The data coming from accounting literature, accounting settlers’ requirements and entities’ experience are gathered, analyzed and interpreted in order to bring to light an underlying coherence and sense for the new reporting perspective.
