2. Accounting concepts
There are certain accounting concepts that were used in the preparation of the Financial Statements for Camlegg Ltd. The main concepts used are going concern, consistency, prudence, matching and accruals, money measurement and historic cost. * Going concern – represents the idea that the company has the resources needed in order to continue to operate in the foreseeable future and will not liquidate its assets. * Consistency – it is a uniformity of successive results. This represents the idea that once a financial method has been adopted it should be applied from one year to the next. The financial statements of Camlegg Ltd. show the depreciation of the motor vehicles and the fixtures and fittings. * Prudence – represents the careful management of finances. Dyson
