| Erklärungskraft quality of information Explanation: I think that Erklärungskraft is being used here synonymously with Aussagekraft, which is normally "quality of information" in accounting English. What "internationale Rechnungslegung" is supposed to mean is anybody's guess, but I suppose the sentence means something like "there is a significant (or: material) difference between the quality of information provided by HGB financial statements and those prepared under internationally accepted accounting standards." |
