04 June 2009 The concept of conservatism is used, while estimating cost / revenue.

Cost of Rs. 100 is incurred means transaction has to be recorded at Rs. 100. It can not be recorded at Rs. 50. Conservatism principle has no role to play.

In case provision is to be made for tax liability, tax liability estimates should not be on lower side. It means conservatism principle has been applied.
