The term business model (BM) is one of the topics that has recently been addressed in the area of accounting literature and seeks to explore how to improve the information content of financial statements. The present study is a qualitative research, in the first step in order to collect qualitative data, a framework for semi-structured queries with experts was developed after examining the scope of financial reporting literature and business model. Subsequently, 23 well-known academic and executive experts in the field of financial reporting and business were selected through purposeful sampling (snowball). The transcribed interviews were coded in the second phase using inductive thematic analysis. In inductive theme analysis, patterns emerge during the analysis by placing open source or sub-themes together in one main theme. In summary, in the current study out of a total of 350 open source codes and 24 sub-themes, 6 main themes were identified as transparency and narrative, social accountability, users, key drivers, justice and fairness in reporting and presentation and disclosure. All of these are as components of financial reporting based on the concept of business model. Financial reporting and information disclosure are important management tools for effectively transferring information to stakeholders. Reliable and timely financial reporting enables individuals to accurately assess their future prospects. Therefore, by re-engineering the financial statements, six key components of financial reporting, inspired by the business model approach, can be a major step in re-engineering financial statements to improve the information content of financial statements.

Business model is one of the available structures of organizational management for developing competitive advantage. The purpose of this study is an analytical scrutiny with fuzzy approach on the Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA)' business model ontology. To study the cause-and-effect relationships and prioritize the dimensions and components of the proposed framework, fuzzy DNAP method (combination of DEMATEL and Analytic Network Process (ANP) in a fuzzy environment) has used. A pairwise questionnaire of dimensions and components dispatch among 13 experts aware of management accounting and business models issues. The experts were selected using the judgmental and purposeful sampling method. The results show that the dimensions of value delivery, value capture, value creation and value definition ranked first to fourth, respectively. The value definition dimension also has a greater impact than other dimensions and the value delivery dimension has a greater impact intensity. In the general evaluation, it was found that the component “Explaining how to use technology in presenting the created values” and the component of “Determining the value propositions” are of the highest and lowest level, respectively. According to the research findings, Management accountants, as consultants and business partners, should be on the ontology of the business model of the Chartered Global Management Accountant (CGMA) in order to provide better guidance to management, emphasis and pay more attention to priority dimensions and components.
