b.     Monetary unit                                                                  j. Verifiability

g.      Transaction approach                                                    o. Business entity

h.     Accrual basis

              1.   The business for which the financial statements are prepared is separate and distinct from  the owners.

              2.  The assumption is made that the entity will remain in business for an indefinite period of time.

              3.   Accountants need some standard of measure to bring financial transactions together in a  mean- ingful way.

              4.   Revenue should be recognized when the earning process is virtually complete and the  exchange value can be objectively determined.

              5.   This concept deals with when to recognize the costs that are associated with the   recognized revenue.

              6.  Accounting reports must disclose all facts that may influence the judgment of an informed reader.

              7.   This concept involves the relative size and importance of an item to a firm.

              8.   The accountant is required to adhere as closely as possible to verifiable data.

              9.   Some companies use accounting reports that do not conform to the general theory that  under- lies accounting.

            10.   The accountant records only events that affect the financial position of the entity and, at   the same time, can be reasonably determined in monetary terms.

            11.  Revenue must be recognized when it is realized (realization concept), and expenses are   recog- nized when incurred (matching concept).

            12.  The entity must give the same treatment to comparable transactions from period to period.

            13.  The measurement with the least favorable effect on net income and financial position in   the current period must be selected.

            14.  Of the various values that could be used, this value has been selected because it is objective and determinable.

            15.  With this assumption, inaccuracies of accounting for the entity short of its complete life span are accepted.

 

Required           Place the appropriate letter identifying each quality on the line in front of the statement describing the   quality.
