Refer para 1.10 for understanding the relationship of Accounting with Economics, Statistics and Law. Limitations which must be kept in mind while evaluating the Financial Statements are as follows: ‘The factors which may be relevant in assessing the worth of the enterprise don't find place in the accounts as they cannot be measured in terms of money. Balance Sheet shows the position of the business on the day of its preparation and not on the future date while the users of the accounts are interested in knowing the position of the business in the near future and also in long run and not for the past date.

Certain accounting estimates depend on the sheer personal judgement of the accountant. Differentaccounting policies forthe treatment of same item adds to the probability of manipulations. The practice of accountancy has crossed its usual domain of preparation of financial statements, interpretation of such statements and audit thereof.

Since money is the medium of exchange and the standard of economic value, this concept requires that those transactions alone that are capable of being measured in terms of money be only to be recorded in the books of accounts. Transactions and events that cannot be expressed in terms of money are not recorded in the business books.
