Q. Measurement in financial statements?
In December 1984 the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Concepts No. 5 The Recognition and Measurement in Financial Statements of Business Enterprises recitation recognition criteria and providing guidance for the timing and nature of information included in financial statements.15 the recognition criteria recognized in the Statement are fairly consistent with those used in current practice. The Statement indicates though that when information more useful than currently reported information is available at a reasonable cost it must be included in financial statements.
