Accounting Concepts, Principles and Practices
Accounting assumptions, or concepts, are basically a set of rules and principles established to help explain how the system should be organised to provide accurate information. These principles are the fundamental building blocks on which accounting is based, and are generally accepted or taken for granted without proof. Discussed below are four of the accounting assumptions and principles, the accounting entity assumption, the accounting period assumption, going-concern assumption and the revenue recognition principle.
Accounting Entity Assumption
The accounting entity, or business entity, assumption states that a business is kept separate from the owner of the business. ...
Accounting Period Assumption
The accounting period assumption requires that the life of a business be divided into periods of time, so that the profit or loss for each time period can be calculated and reported to the business owner.
