Abstract. The project of the International Accounting Standards Board that updates and develops international accounting standards (IASB) has been lasting more than twenty years. In Ukraine, International accounting standards were adopted as the national standards for business and public sectors.
The article analyzes the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting for the business sector entities, compares it with the Conceptual Framework for financial reporting for the public sector entities, and the current requirements of the Ukrainian legislation in the field of accounting and financial reporting. The necessity of creating a single Conceptual Framework for financial reporting, based the needs of information users, is substantiated.

The similar needs of financial reports users support this approach. At the same time, part of the IPSAS, and the Conceptual Framework take into account the functional peculiarities of the entities in this sector of the economy.
Financial reporting concepts for entities in any sector of the economy determine the aim of financial reporting as that to acquire information concerning the entity. Investors, creditors, other lenders are prior users of financial information in the business sector while society as a whole uses information in the public sector. The Conceptual Framework for the public sector takes into account the peculiarity of this sector of the economy, the main purpose of which is to provide services to society, rather than generating profits and ensuring the return on capital of investors.
The common features of financial reporting standards and their Conceptual Framework, taking into account current trends and global challenges, indicate the possibility and feasibility of creating a unified (integrated) Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting.
Keywords: the Conceptual framework for financial reporting, International Financial Reporting Standards for the entrepreneurial sector, International Public Sector Accounting Standards, National Accounting Statements (Standards).
