Management commentary (in Poland called the report on the activities of an entity) is part of a company’s annual report which accompanies the financial state-ments and is drawn up by the entities of major importance in the economic environment. It has a narrative form and is directed primarily at investors.

The purpose of this article is to present the process of developing IASB guidelines on management commentary (published in December 2010) and its contents against the background of the solutions existing in the European Union and in Poland.
