Q. Basic elements of financial statements?
Therefore far we have discussed objectives of financial reporting and qualitative characteristics of accounting information. A third important job in developing a conceptual framework for any discipline is identifying and defining its basic elements. The FASB defined and identified the basic elements of financial statements in Concepts Statement No. 3. Afterwards Concepts Statement No. 6 improved some of the definitions. We defined nearly every one of the terms earlier in this text in a less technical way the more technical definitions follow. These items aren't repeated in this chapter's Key terms.
