Going concern concept

According to this concept it is assumed that the business will exist for a long time
A firm is said to b going concern when there is neither the intention nor necessity towind up its affairs.
Or you can say that it should continue to operate at its present scale in the forseable future.keeping in view the going concern concept we show the fixed assets at a diminshing balance value and not at their market value.

Prudence concept
It is a caution approach
It ensures that uncernaties and risks inherent in business transactions should b given proper consideration.if there is possibility of loss,it should b taken into account at the earliest.on the other handa prospect of profitshould b ignored up 2 the time it doesnot materialise
This is the rule for the accountants that ,“ANTICIPATE NO PROFIT BUT PROVIDE FOR ALL POSSIBLE LOSSES”





>> Success is the ability to go from one failure to another with no loss of enthusiasm.
