•
Consistency of presentation – the presentation and classification of items in the financial
statements should be retained from one period to the next unless a change is justified by a change in
circumstances or the requirement of a new IFRS.
•
Materiality and aggregation – information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could
reasonably be expected to influence decisions by the primary users of the financial statements. Each
material class of similar items should be presented separately in the financial statements. This would
apply to a grouping such as current assets.
•
Offsetting – assets and liabilities, and income and expenditure may not be offset unless required or
permitted by an IFRS. For example, it is not permitted to offset a bank overdraft with another bank
account not in overdraft.
