The purpose of the paper is to recommend the transformation the economic entity principle in the doctrine of “piercing the corporate veil” formed in international legal practice, the essence of which is to identify the ultimate beneficial owners of a business. To achieve this purpose, the following tasks are performed: to identify the scope of the “corporate veil” concept in international practice, to establish the relationship of the described issues with the conceptual framework of international financial reporting, and also to propose ways to overcome the insufficiency of the principle of economic entity to ensure the transparency of financial reporting in the current economic conditions. The object of the research is represented by a set of economic and legal interpretations of the “economic entity” and “corporate veil” concepts in their historical development.
