Introduction: Accounting principles are the rules using which economic activity is recorded and measured. There are many factors which contribute to the development of accounting standards in a country, including its economy, legal, educational and political systems, etc. There are different methods available around the world to record economic activity, and these differences have led to significant diversity in accounting standards from one nation to another.
