Limitations Of Accounting Statements

Muhtasari

Financial statements and the ratios drawn from them are powerful, but they are not the whole truth. They record only what can be put into money, they value assets at what was paid long ago, and they look backward at a year that has already ended. A business with brilliant staff, a loyal customer base and a perfect location may show the same figures as a struggling rival, because none of those strengths can be captured in dollars.

In this lesson you will learn the main limitations of accounting statements: the time factor, historic cost, the freedom businesses have in choosing accounting policies, the use of different definitions, and the way the money measurement rule leaves out vital non-financial factors. Knowing these limits is what separates a student who can calculate a ratio from one who can judge what it is really worth.

Malengo

  1. historic cost.
  2. application of accounting policies.
  3. non-financial aspects for example, skill of the workforce, location of the business, economic climate.

Maelezo ya Somo

It is tempting to treat the figures as the final word on a business, but a wise reader treats them as a starting point. Decisions about lending, investing or buying a business go badly wrong when their limitations are ignored. Recognising what the accounts cannot tell you is therefore as important as reading what they can, and Cambridge rewards candidates who can explain these limits clearly.
