Hi
I am struggling a bit with the concept of conceptual framework. If I was asked this in an exam I would say:
It is a set of principles (e.g. IFRS), designed to help preparers of the financial statements make the information useful and easy to understand to users.
Users of the financial statements could be, banks, lenders, employees, suppliers.
Then I would go on to explain the qualitative characteristics etc.Thanks

In SBR you are more likely to be asked to state your view on whether a particular accounting standard is consistent with the conceptual framework
