    Hi Mike!

    Could you please explain what is an accounting policy?
    The definition provided by the IAS does not seem to be helpful.

    Thanks.

    Accounting concepts – examples include materiality, comparability …..

    Accounting policy – example would be “To write off the cost of assets against profits over their estimated useful lives”

    Accounting base – example would be “To depreciate at the rate of 25% on the reducing balance basis”

    OK?
