Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Companies scatter numbers like confetti in the wind
Each one speaks their own accounting language, where to begin?
Investors squinting at the chaos, can't compare or trust
When Apple talks in dollars, Toyota speaks in dust

[Chorus]
Standards make it C-C-C (Clear, Comparable, Consistent)
F-R-S spells out the way (Financial Reporting Standards)
Apples next to apples now, no more mystery math
C-C-C across the globe, walking the same path

[Verse 2]
Picture reading recipe books written in ten tongues
Revenue recognition dancing to different drums
One firm counts tomorrow's sales, another waits to see
Without the rules to guide us, it's financial anarchy

[Chorus]
Standards make it C-C-C (Clear, Comparable, Consistent)
F-R-S spells out the way (Financial Reporting Standards)
Apples next to apples now, no more mystery math
C-C-C across the globe, walking the same path

[Bridge]
GAAP in America, IFRS worldwide
Building bridges made of numbers, nowhere left to hide
Auditors and analysts can finally breathe
When balance sheets and income statements weave the same motif

[Verse 3]
Transparency becomes the lens through which we see
Economic substance over form, revealing reality
Stakeholders make wiser choices, capital flows true
When financial reporting standards paint the clearest view

[Chorus]
Standards make it C-C-C (Clear, Comparable, Consistent)
F-R-S spells out the way (Financial Reporting Standards)
Apples next to apples now, no more mystery math
C-C-C across the globe, walking the same path

[Outro]
From boardrooms to the trading floor, one language understood
Financial reporting standards serve the greater good
