Q. 12 What are the qualitative characteristics of accounting
information?
Ans. Qualitative characteristics of Accounting information. Accounting information
must p0ssess some qualitative characteristics. These are the attributes that make the
information provided in financial statement useful to users.
The four main qualitative characterisics are:
A. Reliability. Accounting informatigh must be reliable. It should be free from bias and
personal influenco OE jMdgement. However, it is not possible to record all transactions
in this manner. For example, an entry for the provision for doubtful debts, In this case,

amount of bad debts can never be determined in advance.
2. Relevance. Accounting information must be releyant to the user. Information 1s

AComparability. Accounting information is more useful when it is comparable with
similar information for the same ernterprisein different periods; It is also useful when
similar information across different enterprises during the same period can be
compared.
Comparability is therefore a useful quality of accounting information. To achieve
comparability, consistency and disclosure of accounting policies are necessary.

existing earning capacity of the business.
0) Capital expenditure is capitalised while revenue expenditure is transferred to the
Trading or Profit & Loss Account, In other words, capital expenditure is entered
into the Balance Sheet and revenue expenditure is entered into the Trading and
Profit & Loss Account.
