Small businesses are not obliged to apply PBUs, which directly state the possibility of non-application of PBUs by small businesses. See the full bank of postings.
In particular, in 2016, PBU may not be applied:
Small businesses also may not revaluate fixed assets (PBU 6/01) and intangible assets (PBU 14/2007).
Currently, the rules for the formation and disclosure of accounting policies of organizations are established by PBU 1/2008. Based on this document, when developing accounting policies, the following are approved (clause 4 of PBU 1/2008):
When simplifying accounting, the organization must reflect this information in its accounting policy (clause 4 of PBU 1/2008).
Accounting policies for accounting purposes must be applied consistently from year to year from the inception of the organization. Such rules are enshrined in Part 5 of Article 8 of Law No. 402-FZ.
1) changes in the requirements established by the legislation of the Russian Federation on accounting, federal and (or) industry standards;
2) development or selection of a new method of accounting, the use of which leads to an increase in the quality of information about the object of accounting;
3) a significant change in the conditions of activity of an economic entity.
Changes in accounting policies must be introduced from the beginning of the financial year, unless a different date is determined by the very reason for the changes (clause 7 of article 8 of Law No. 402-FZ, clause 12 of PBU 1/2008). Changes to the accounting policy must be approved by the head of the organization by issuing the appropriate order or regulation (Part 1, Article 7, Part 2, Article 8 of Law No. 402-FZ, clauses 8, 11 PBU 1/2008).
Do not forget that the accounting policy must be approved by the manager before the beginning of the year, so even if you are making an accounting policy for 2016 only now, approve it anyway by the end of 2016.

In Russia, a four-level system of legal regulation of accounting has developed.
First (legislative) level -federal laws, decrees of the President of the Russian Federation, decrees of the Government of the Russian Federation, establishing uniform legal and methodological standards for organizing and maintaining accounting records in Russia. Also, the right to regulate accounting is granted to the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, the Federal Commission for the Securities Market, and other departments. The rules contained in other federal laws and affecting issues of accounting and financial reporting must comply with the Federal Law “On Accounting”.
Second (normative) level— accounting regulations (PBU, Russian standards), approved by the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation, which set out the principles and basic rules of national accounting; accounting provisions in accordance with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards), approved by Order of the Ministry of Finance dated December 28, 2015 No. 217n. The normative level also includes the Chart of Accounts for accounting the financial and economic activities of organizations and the Instructions for its application (Order of the Ministry of Finance dated October 31, 2000 No. 94n), Regulations on documents and document flow in accounting (approved by the Ministry of Finance of the USSR on July 29, 1983 No. 105) .
Third (methodological) level- instructions, recommendations and guidelines for accounting, other documents of an instructive or advisory nature that answer practical accounting questions and are not included in the previous level. Prepared and approved by federal authorities, ministries, and professional associations of accountants on the basis of documents of the first and second levels. Documents at this level include instructions for filling out financial reporting forms, guidelines for taking inventory of property and financial obligations, guidelines for accounting for costs included in distribution and production costs, and financial results at enterprises.
Fourth level- documents that are developed by the enterprise itself and determine the organization and maintenance of accounting for certain types of property, liabilities and business transactions. These are working documents of organizations for internal use, approved by the head of the organization within the framework of the adopted accounting policy. At this level, the main regulatory document on accounting is the accounting policy of the organization. The purpose of this level is to determine the procedure for maintaining accounting records of transactions for which the current acts do not provide for a specific procedure or there is variability. These documents, their content, principles of construction and interaction with each other, as well as the procedure for preparation and approval are determined by the head of the organization.
Accounting in Russian companies is subject to strict regulation of legally approved provisions. The abbreviation PBU has become familiar to any accountant, and the content of these documents is a determining factor in the implementation of competent accounting in almost all areas of application. RAS, prescribed in the provisions, regulate the procedure for maintaining records of assets (current and non-current), liabilities, funds, transactions/events in the main or auxiliary activities of each domestic enterprise.
PBUs are approved by the Ministry of Finance, and the legislative nature of these regulatory documents requires strict and detailed implementation of the methods and recommendations presented in them. Accounting regulations relevant for financiers in 2017 include 24 documents. Let's get acquainted with the most common of them.
Each enterprise, when determining methods for developing accounting policies and maintaining records, inventories, depreciation of non-current assets and operating results of the formation, relies on the recommendations presented in PBU 1/2008 “Accounting Policies”.
Accounting for material assets is extensive and varied. Therefore, legislators have approved several accounting provisions that regulate various aspects of a company’s life. For example, PBU 5/01 “Accounting for Inventory and Inventory” establishes general rules for recording information about inventories - materials, raw materials, finished products or goods. The various specifics of the activities of enterprises, in particular those working with assets whose value is expressed in foreign currency, requires the use of a special accounting methodology recommended in PBU No. 3/2006.
Features of accounting, depreciation, mothballing or liquidation of real estate and property whose useful life exceeds a year are interpreted by PBU 6/01 for accounting of fixed assets. Recently, the most important component in a company’s successful image are factors such as business reputation, technology secrets (know-how), trademarks or unique software products, i.e. intangible assets. Accounting for intangible assets is determined by PBU No. 14/2007.
For construction organizations specializing in contracting activities, PBU 2/2008 on maintaining and recording construction contracts is relevant. The procedure for accounting for financial investments in Russian organizations is established by PBU 19/02, and the correct distribution of expenses on loans and borrowings is established by PBU 15/2008.
Companies that receive and use state aid rely on Accounting Regulation 13/2000 “Accounting for State Assistance”, which determines the correct formation of receipts and expenditures of budget funds.
The correct attribution of expenses for research, technological and design activities of the enterprise is considered by PBU 17/02, and the specifics of income tax calculations are considered by PBU 18/02.
The generation of income and expenses of companies is regulated by PBU 9/99 and 10/99, which standardize the algorithms of business transactions.
The reporting of enterprises is compiled in accordance with PBU 4/99, which establishes the structure, content and methodology of formation. Along with the general requirements for reporting, PBU 23/2011 has been legally adopted, explaining the rules for compiling an appendix to the balance sheet - a cash flow statement.
All accounting standards for 2017 year supplement the provisions governing the actions of an accountant in various non-standard situations. For example, PBU 22/2010 establishes rules for correcting erroneous entries in accounting, and PBU 7/98 determines the algorithm of actions in the event of an important fact of economic activity for the company after the reporting date.
It should be noted that legislators are currently developing draft new federal standards for accounting for fixed assets, intangible assets, inventories and debt instruments.

In particular, such an organization has the right not to apply the accounting method established by the federal accounting standard when such a method leads to a discrepancy between the organization's accounting policies and the requirements of International Financial Reporting Standards.
(clause 7 as amended by the Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated April 28, 2017 N 69n)
7.1. If the federal accounting standards do not establish accounting methods for a specific accounting issue, the organization develops an appropriate method based on the requirements established by the legislation of the Russian Federation on accounting, federal and (or) industry standards.

7.3. In exceptional cases, when the formation of an accounting policy in accordance with paragraphs 7 and 7.1 of these Regulations leads to an unreliable representation of the financial position of the organization, the financial results of its activities and the flow of its funds in the accounting (financial) statements, the organization has the right to deviate from the rules established by these paragraphs , subject to all of the following conditions:

d) information about deviations from the rules established by clauses 7 and 7.1 of these Regulations and the use of an alternative method of accounting is disclosed by the organization in accordance with these Regulations.
(clause 7.3 introduced by Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated April 28, 2017 N 69n)
7.4. To the extent that the application of the accounting policies formed in accordance with clauses 7 and 7.1 of these Regulations leads to the formation of information, the presence, absence or method of reflection of which in the accounting (financial) statements of the organization does not depend on the economic decisions of the users of these statements (hereinafter - immaterial information), the organization has the right to choose the method of accounting, guided solely by the requirement of rationality (without applying clauses 7, 7.1 of these Regulations).

Accounting methods chosen by the organization when developing accounting policies are applied from the first January of the year following the year of approval of the relevant organizational and administrative document. Moreover, they are applied by all branches, representative offices and other divisions of the organization (including those allocated to a separate balance sheet), regardless of their location.
A newly created organization, an organization resulting from a reorganization, draws up its chosen accounting policy in accordance with these Regulations no later than 90 days from the date of state registration of the legal entity. The accounting policy adopted by the newly created organization is considered to be applied from the date of state registration of the legal entity.
10. Changes in the accounting policies of an organization can be made in the following cases:
It is not considered a change in accounting policy to approve the method of accounting for facts of economic activity that are essentially different from the facts that occurred previously, or that arose for the first time in the organization’s activities.
11. Changes in accounting policies must be justified and formalized in the manner prescribed by paragraph 8 of these Regulations.
12. Changes in accounting policies are made from the beginning of the reporting year, unless otherwise determined by the reason for such a change.
13. The consequences of changes in accounting policies that have had or may have a significant impact on the financial position of the organization, the financial results of its activities and (or) cash flows are assessed in monetary terms. The assessment in monetary terms of the consequences of changes in accounting policies is made on the basis of data verified by the organization as of the date from which the changed method of accounting is applied.
14. The consequences of changes in accounting policies caused by changes in the legislation of the Russian Federation and (or) regulatory legal acts on accounting are reflected in accounting and reporting in the manner established by the relevant legislation of the Russian Federation and (or) regulatory legal acts on accounting.

15. The consequences of changes in accounting policies caused by reasons other than those specified in paragraph 14 of these Regulations, and which had or could have a significant impact on the financial position of the organization, financial results of its activities and (or) cash flows, are reflected in the financial statements retrospectively, for except in cases where the assessment in monetary terms of such consequences in relation to periods preceding the reporting period cannot be made with sufficient reliability.
When retrospectively reflecting the consequences of changes in accounting policies, we proceed from the assumption that the changed method of accounting was applied from the moment the facts of economic activity of this type arose. Retrospective reflection of the consequences of changes in accounting policies consists of adjusting the opening balance under the item “Retained earnings (uncovered loss)” and (or) other balance sheet items as of the earliest date presented in the accounting (financial) statements, as well as the values of related accounting items disclosed for each period presented in the financial statements, as if the new accounting policy had been applied from the moment the facts of economic activity of this type arose.
(as amended by Order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated April 28, 2017 N 69n)

15.1. Organizations that have the right to use simplified accounting methods, including simplified accounting (financial) reporting, may reflect in their financial statements the consequences of changes in accounting policies that have had or may have a significant impact on the financial position of the organization, the financial results of its activities and (or) cash flows. funds, prospectively, except for cases where a different procedure is established by the legislation of the Russian Federation and (or) a regulatory legal act on accounting.
