The discipline is built on five essential concepts that guide how transactions are recorded.

• Revenue recognition: income appears in accounts when the sale occurs, not when money is received.
• Matching principle: link each expense to the revenue it created for accurate profit measurement.
• Historical cost: the amount you paid for an asset stays on the books until disposal.
• Full disclosure: include every material fact that might influence financial decisions.
• Objectivity: all records should rely on factual proof rather than personal opinion.

These principles work together to produce financial reports that investors and regulators can trust.
