CPP method:
Criticisms:
1. Depreciation under CCA method is provided on the
current value of the assets. They may not be
adequate to provide for the replacement of all
types of assets.
2. There is subjectivity in adopting the current value of
the assets depending upon the discretion and
personal judgments of the managers.
3. This method does not take into account the
change in value of borrowed funds

CONTROL
The historical cost accounts are most unhelpful when it comes to the
comparison of performance because the inflation which means
general increase in price or fall in value of money affect different
companies in very different way and the problem is not just inflation
but includes the treatment of changes in relative price
Consumption
Taxation
The use of historical cost accounting as the basis for taxation means
that in period of rising prices the proportion of the increase in
company wealth which is taken by taxation may be very much
larger than that which is implied by the nominal rate of taxation.
