ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (including Ind.

AS)
Accounting as a ‘language of business’ communicates the financial
results of an enterprise to various stakeholders by means of financial
statements. In order to ensure transparency, consistency, comparability,
adequacy and reliability of financial reporting, it is essential to
standardise the accounting principles and policies. Accounting
Standards (ASs) provide framework and standard accounting policies so
that the financial statements of different enterprises become
comparable.

OBJECTIVES
✓ eliminate the non-comparability of financial statements and
thereby improving the reliability of financial statements; and
✓ Provide a set of standard accounting policies, valuation norms and
disclosure requirements.

that such standards may be established in India by the council of the ICAI.
