Some Conceptions And Misconceptions On Reality And Assumptions In Financial Accounting

Author

  • Stanley C. W. Salvary

Abstract

This paper addresses two problematic issues arising from the importation of terms into financial accounting: (1) the nature of economic reality; and (2) the role of assumptions. These two issues have stirred a lot of controversy relating to financial accounting measurements and affect attestation reports. This paper attempts to provide conceptual clarity on these two issues.
