Subject. This article discusses the issues related to the further development of the Conceptual Framework for Accounting in the Market Economy of Russia.
Objectives. The article aims to identify the prospects for addressing areas of concern of the further development of the Conceptual Framework for Accounting in the Market Economy of Russia.
Methods. For the study, I used critical analysis, synthesis, comparison, observation, and systematization.
Results. The article evaluates the current state of the Conceptual Framework for Accounting and Reporting within the Russian Accounting Standards system, compares the regulations of the Accounting Concept in Russia's Market Economy with the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting under IFRS, and it also organizes the similarities and differences between Russia's Accounting Concept in the Market Economy and the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting under IFRS. The article offers recommendations for the further development of the Accounting Concept in Russia's Market Economy.
Conclusions and Relevance. The Concept of Accounting in Russia's Market Economy hasn’t been updated since it was adopted in 1997. This is the reason for some regulations of the Russian Concept of Accounting in Russia's Market Economy are becoming outdated. Its differences from the updated version of the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting in IFRS were also significant. This points to the advisability of further developing the Concept of Accounting in Russia's Market Economy. The results obtained have both practical and theoretical areas of application in the field of financial accounting.

Keywords: accounting, accounting (financial) statements, conceptual framework for accounting and reporting
