Abstract
This document aims to highlight the growing importance of knowledge and continuous learning of profound concepts of finance and risk for the accounting profession. By means of an economic-accounting analysis of
the counterparty credit risk and own credit risk adjustments proposed by IFRS 13, the author reveals recurrent weaknesses in the issuance and application processes of accounting standards that must be addressed in the short and medium term as challenges characteristic of the profession to ensure
that the economic and financial essence of accounting is not distorted. We conclude that having politically strong but technically poorly elaborated standards is to serve interests different to financial and decision-making ones. Accounting should mimic the complexity of transactions and not hide
realities as an apparent solution to problems.
