accounts of businesses separately from those of the persons running them
Going Concern : Accounting assumes that the organization is question will continue to operate for an indefinitely long period
in the future

equation
Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity
Matching : When a given event affects both revenues and expenses, the effect on each should be recognized in the same
accounting period
Conservatism : Revenues are recognized only when they are reasonably certain and expenses are recognized as soon as
they are reasonably possible
Materiality : Accounting should involve disclosure of all important and relevant information
