What is Inflation Accounting? How is Inflation Accounting Performed?

What is Inflation Accounting?

Inflation accounting is an accounting regulation implemented to ensure that financial statements reflect reality in high inflation environments. Since the purchasing power of money changes over time due to inflation, financial statements need to be updated. This practice is regulated under the Tax Procedure Law (VUK) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The primary objective of this practice is to adjust the assets, liabilities, and equity in companies' financial statements to align with current economic conditions, enabling more accurate financial analyses. The distortion in monetary items caused by high inflation makes it difficult to understand a company's true profitability and financial strength. Inflation accounting enhances the accuracy of financial statements, allowing investors, lenders, and other stakeholders to make more informed decisions.
