reports. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The data and information must clearly state the unit or company being reported. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Clear

company continuity, company financial information can be monitored. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">If a business entity only runs for a few weeks or only a matter of months, of course the accounting information obtained is useless.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Therefore, a company must continue to exist or continue running continuously. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In this way, various information or company financial data can be monitored

necessary for a company to monitor its financial position. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This accounting period is also closely related to the reporting of financial information within the company where a sustainable company can be divided into periods in the form of financial reports.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">A certain period in a company can be a benchmark for the financial condition of the company. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">In this way, company

style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Accounting information in a business must also have uniform language which is called monetary value. <\/span><span

style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">For the issue of determining income and costs, the company must clearly indicate the reporting period. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Reporting income and costs is also closely related to the assets and debts of the company or related parties. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align:

style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The principle of consistency in basic accounting concepts is also important in a company. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">A company that consistently applies this principle from one period to the next will make it easier for them to obtain financial data and information presented in financial reports. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Accurate financial reports can be the basis for important decision making within the company.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span

presented without considering one or more particular parties. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The definition of materiality can be interpreted as financial data and information that arises from transactions with small amounts. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">This materiality can be said to have no effect on the company&#8217;s financial statements so it can be ignored.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"29_Konservatisme_dan_Realisasi\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span><b><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align:

realization should be emphasized in the basics and concepts of accounting. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The concept of conservatism itself focuses on the presentation of financial information where those who record fees and income must be more careful.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\"><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">By emphasizing this principle of conservatism, the financial information that will be presented will be accurate. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">Then, the meaning of realization is that the financial data and information presented must be transparent. <\/span><span style=\"vertical-align: inherit;\">The financial statements must display the basis for recognizing existing revenues in the
