Question 9

Dear Student,

Management is not justified in ascertaining Profit & Loss only when contract is completed. Management must accrue its revenue over the period of 4 years & must charge cost as & when incurred.

As per Accrual concept of accounting revenues are reported as & when they are earned & not when received and as per the matching principle the related cost with revenue must also be recorded. Thus, management must show for each year the Profit/Loss situation.

Regards,

I think the principle of prudence or conservatism is applied here because if there is any chance of profit then according to this principle, all the anticipated profits will not be shown in the final accounts rather will be shown only when they are earned.


I may be wrong. But please do appreciate that at least I tried.
