National Accounting Standards

Short answer

The National Accounting Standards, NAS, are the standards by which economic entities in Albania prepare financial statements, in accordance with Article 5 of Law No. 25/2018. They are prepared by the National Accounting Council, pursuant to Article 24, while public interest entities generally apply the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

  • Economic micro-units apply SKK 15, in accordance with paragraph 5 of this standard.
  • Any other unit may voluntarily choose SNRFs instead of SKKs, in accordance with Article 5, paragraph 3.
  • The unit category, and thus the applicable standard, changes only when the thresholds are exceeded or not met for two consecutive reporting periods, in accordance with Article 4, paragraph 5.
