The qualitative 

characteristics of 

financial information

The purpose of this chapter is to encourage you to think more 

deeply about the assumptions on which financial statements 

are prepared. 

This chapter deals with the accounting conventions which lie 

behind accounts preparation and which you will meet in Part 

C of this Interactive Text, in the chapters on bookkeeping. 

In Part D, you will see how conventions and assumptions are 

put into practice. You will also deal with certain items which 

are the subject of accounting standards.

   Background 

In preparing financial statements, accountants follow certain fundamental assumptions.  

Accounting practice has developed gradually over time. Many of its procedures are operated 

automatically by people who have never questioned whether alternative methods exist which have equal 

validity. However, the procedures in common use imply the acceptance of certain concepts which are by 

no means self-evident; nor are they the only possible concepts which could be used to build up an 

accounting framework. 

Our next step is to look at some of the more important concepts which are taken for granted in preparing 

accounts. In this chapter we shall single out the important assumptions and concepts for discussion. 

 EXAM FOCUS POINT 

Always read the question carefully before answering. Make sure that you understand the requirement 

and have picked out the main points of the question. This may sound obvious but the ACCA examining 

team regularly comments that students have failed to read the question.

   The IASB's Conceptual Framework 

The IASB's 



Conceptual Framework is the basis on which IFRSs are formulated. 

The main assumption for financial statements is going concern. 

2.1 Introduction to the Conceptual Framework 

The Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 2018 ('Conceptual Framework') is a set of 

principles which underpin the foundations of financial accounting. It is a conceptual framework on 

which all IFRSs are based and hence determines how financial statements are prepared and the 

information they contain. The Conceptual Framework is not an accounting standard in itself.  

The Conceptual Framework is currently as follows. 

Chapter 1: The objective of general purpose financial reporting 

Chapter 2: Qualitative characteristics of useful financial information 

Chapter 3: Financial statements and the reporting entity 

Chapter 4: The elements of financial statements 

Chapter 5: Recognition and derecognition 

Chapter 6: Measurement 

Chapter 7: Presentation and disclosure 

Chapter 8: Concepts of capital and capital maintenance 

 (Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 2018) 

We are only concerned with Chapter 2 and parts of Chapter 4 for the FFA/FA syllabus. 

2.2 Going concern assumption 

The Conceptual Framework sets out one important assumption for financial statements, the going 



concern concept

2.2.1 Going concern  

'

Going concern

. The financial statements are normally prepared on the assumption that an entity is a 



going concern and will continue in operation for the foreseeable future. Hence, it is assumed that the 

entity has neither the intention nor the need to enter into liquidation or to cease trading. If such an 

intention or need exists, the financial statements may have to be prepared on a different basis. If so, the 

financial statements describe the basis used.' 

(Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting 2018, para. 3.9) 

 

This concept assumes that, when preparing a normal set of accounts, the business will continue to 



operate in approximately the same manner for the foreseeable future (at least the next 12 months). In 

particular, the entity will not go into liquidation or scale down its operations in a material way. 

The main significance of the going concern concept is that the assets should not be valued at their 

'break-up' value (the amount they would sell for if they were sold off piecemeal and the business were 

broken up).
