摘要:财务报表内容是企业对外提供的主要财务信息，也是连接企业与政府、投资者、债权人等报表使用者的桥梁。但是目前，无论是国内还是国外，企业财务报表粉饰现象都是普遍存在的。粉饰过的财务报表掩盖了企业真实的财务状况和经营成果，向报表使用者传达不准确或是不真实的信息。然而，政府监管部门以及社会监督等存在着局限性，对粉饰过的财务报表不能及时识别出来并予以防范，而且因为信息的不对称和使用者受专业知识的限制，报表使用者与报表提供方相比较就处于十分不利的地位，使用者经常会被粉饰的财务报表所误导，从而做出错误判断和不正确的决策，最终遭受损失，这些都不利于市场经济健康、有序地发展。如何有效识别与应对财务报表粉饰变得十分必要。

　　　我国现在的经济正在快速的发展，但由于市场不发达和各种制度的不健全等因素，使得财务报表粉饰现象日趋严重，而且报表粉饰的手段也越来越复杂，粉饰的程度也越来越高。因此本文主要从财务报表粉饰的现状出发，论述财务报表粉饰产生的社会经济基础和内外部动因，分析企业财务报表粉饰的常见手段与类型，探析如何识别财务报表粉饰现象，并在此基础上，分别针对管理人员、企业治理结构、相关法规和监管制度提出如何有效防范财务报表粉饰的建议。
