Principle of Revenue Recognition
• It assists in determination of the correct revenue to be recognized and reported for a particular period. This ensures that the quality and accuracy of Financial Statements is maintained.
• In case there is a change in the fair value of assets, the same must be revalued and the difference in revaluation must be charged to the income statement for the current reporting period. The carrying amount of the assets will be revised accordingly.
• The journal entries passed at the beginning or end of a financial period in order to record the adjustments to carrying amounts and values of components of financial statements are called adjusting entries.
• Examples include change in carrying amounts recorded to capture impact of foreseeable loss in future due to devaluation , losses recorded owing to loss of assets due to reasons such as natural causes etc.
