Businessmen mostly ignore the items offuture profit. This tendency is term'ed as conservatism
and it is very natural tendency and is in existence since long hence it is a convention. Saving
of money by people and depositing it for using it to meet future conting,encies is conservatism;
hence nearly all people apply this principle of conservatism. The valuation of stock or inventory
at a lower of co'st or net realisable value, making provisions for doubtful debts, discount on
debtors are the applications of this principle-
One should be careful in making provision for future losses, as more or less provision than
necessary will create adverse affect on the business and accounting record will alsb not indicate
true and fair position. Hence, in nutshell, conserwatism states as "anticipate no profit, and
provide for all possible.losses".
2: Discloser ; \4{hile making accounting record, care should be taken to disclose all
material information and not conceal informations and facts. Here, emphasis is only on
material ii'form to benefit the proprietor
and all those outsiders who are. directly or indirectly interested in assessing the final accounts
of the business unit. This is why forms of Balance Sheet and Profrt ariJ Loss Account are
prescribed in Schedule VI of the Companies Act, 7956.If there is some material information
which cannot be included in proper Balance Sheet, it is shown by way of footnote, so that
correct opiniep may be made about the financial position of the business unit.
Full discloser of all relevant and reliable facts in accounts is the necessity in order to
mak'e accounting record useful for the users. It is not a new thing, but is based on convention.

the principle of double entry system that every debit has a corresponding credit is based on ex
this co.ncept. It will be discussed in detail later on in this book.
All the business transactions are covered by the following six combinations ;
1. Increasb in owner's equity, 2. Decrease in bwner's equity, 3. Increase in liabilities,
4. Decrease in liabilities, 5. fncrease in assets, and 6. Decrease in assets.
Each transaction is recorded in such a way that'thi accounting equation continues. Thus,
the two aspects of a trarisaction are recordecl in such a way that their effects balance each
other and equation is maintained. Had this accounting equivalence concept not been there,
double entry system of bobk-keeping would have never come into existence.
