An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In the field of accounting, when reporting the financial statements of a company, accounting constraints (also known as the constraints of accounting) are boundaries, limitations, or guidelines. These constraints may allow for variations to the accounting standards an accountant is trying to follow. Types of constraints include objectivity, costs and benefits, materiality, consistency, industry practices, timeliness, and conservatism, though there may be other types of constraints not listed. These constraints deal with issues such as requiring evidence, balancing the costs and benefits of providing financial information, deciding the precision of a report, remaining consistent within a report and from year-to-year, following the practices of an industry, reporting in a timely manner, and

  • In the field of accounting, when reporting the financial statements of a company, accounting constraints (also known as the constraints of accounting) are boundaries, limitations, or guidelines. These constraints may allow for variations to the accounting standards an accountant is trying to follow. Types of constraints include objectivity, costs and benefits, materiality, consistency, industry practices, timeliness, and conservatism, though there may be other types of constraints not listed. These constraints deal with issues such as requiring evidence, balancing the costs and benefits of providing financial information, deciding the precision of a report, remaining consistent within a report and from year-to-year, following the practices of an industry, reporting in a timely manner, and not overstating profits and/or assets. Accounting constraints may be confused with constraints accounting the latter of which, much like throughput accounting or cost accounting, is a method of accounting. (en)
