18. To ensure proper understanding of financial statements, it is necessary that all significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation and presentation of financial statements should be disclosed.
19. Such disclosure should form part of the financial statements.

(a) Methods of depreciation, depletion and amortisation
(b) Treatment of expenditure during construction
(c) Conversion or translation of foreign currency items
(d) Valuation of inventories
(e) Treatment of goodwill
(f) Valuation of investments
(g) Treatment of retirement benefits
(h) Recognition of profit on long-term contracts
