Historical aspects of forming a new model of corporate reporting have been analyzed. Priority of external factors in the improvement of corporate reporting at the initial stage of analysis of its development has been identified. The reasons for the discrepancy between the current model of corporate reporting and the specifics of the functioning of corporations have been identified.
