“…Principle-based accounting is that which expresses itself through principles that must be interpreted and judged, especially in light of the aspects of the transaction and the characteristics of the business, in order to find the best way to measure the elements of financial statements. Regardless of the system adopted, the data and accounting information are essential in the decision making of administrators, investors and others involved with the organization, because their main objective is to report the results obtained by companies through the development of their activities (Tsunogaya, 2016;Aldredge, Cooley & DuBois, 2018;Kumar, 2015;Palea, 2018). In this context, the IFRS concepts are a way to bring improvements in the quality of accounting information, according to resolutions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board -FASB (2010) and the International Accounting Standards Board -IASB (2018), as well as the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting (Brazilian Accounting Standards -NBC).…”
