Solution
The correct option is B Consistency The accounting information provided by the financial statements would be
useful in drawing conclusions regarding the working of an enterprise only
when it allows comparisons over a period of time as well as with the working
of other enterprises.
Thus, both inter-firm and inter-period comparisons are
required to be made. This can be possible only when accounting policies and
practices followed by enterprises are uniform and are consistent over the
period of time.
