Every accountant applies five key principles to maintain trust in financial statements.

• Revenue recognition: record income when it is earned, not when cash arrives.
• 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: objectivity means using documented evidence to support every entry.

Following them ensures that accounts reflect a true and fair view of a business.

Every transaction must keep the accounting equation in balance: Assets = Liabilities + Equity.
