Depreciation method<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A company that uses the straight-line method to depreciate its machinery must maintain this method for that class of assets, unless the method of use changes and the change is justified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monthly accounting record:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Charge Depreciation Expense 5,000<br>Credit Accumulated Depreciation 5,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Inventory valuation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a company adopts the FIFO (First In, First Out) method to value inventories, it must maintain it over time to ensure comparability, unless there are technical reasons for changing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Revenue recognition in construction<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A construction company that applies the work progress method according to NIF D-7 must maintain it for similar projects, avoiding alternating with completed work methods without justification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Importance of consistency<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Allows you to analyze real variations in financial results.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Facilitates comparison with companies in the same sector.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increases the transparency and credibility of financial information.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>consistency in accounting<\/strong> It is key to ensuring that financial statements are comparable and useful for decision-making.
