Accounting is a policy for a firm/company or an industry which is considered to have a notably high subjective element, and that has a material impact on the financial statements. These policies are often mandated to be described in detail in specific sections of a company's annual or quarterly reports. Using accounting policies and procedures is one method of creating the internal controls needed for a successful and compliant organization.

Eg :

  • A clothing retailer accounting for inventory
  • Bank's accounting for future unpaid loans
  • A manufacturer or a store accounting for future returned items
