Qualities of relevance
Information provided by financial statements needs to be relevant.
Information that is relevant has predictive, or confirmatory, value.
•
Predictive value enables users to evaluate or assess past, present
or future events.
•
Confirmatory value helps users to confirm or correct past
evaluations and assessments.
Where choices have to be made between mutually exclusive options, the
option selected should be the one that results in the relevance of the
information being maximised – in other words, the one that would be of
most use in taking economic decisions.
