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

• Revenue recognition: recognise revenue at the point it is earned, regardless of payment timing.
• Matching principle: costs are matched to the income they produce within the same accounting period.
• Historical cost: the amount you paid for an asset stays on the books until disposal.
• Full disclosure: share all information that could affect a reader's understanding of the accounts.
• Objectivity: all records should rely on factual proof rather than personal opinion.

Together, they create a framework for consistent reporting across industries.

Private accounting tutors in York usually charge around £26/h hourly.

• Lesson format (online via video call, in person at home, or at the tutor's location)

Some tutors provide a free first lesson so you can test the fit before committing.

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

It ensures that every pound entering a business is accounted for on both sides of the ledger.

When you buy equipment with cash, assets shift form but the total stays the same.
