1 .The objectivity principle requires that entries in the accounting records be based on (objective
evidence) as far as possible, such as statements issued by (external) organizations. If this principle
is ignored, the (confidence) of users of the financial statements could not be maintained. For
example, evidence such as (invoice), bank statements, and other objective evidence supports the
accounting (entries) and records. In some cases, judgments, estimates andother (factom) must be
used in preparing financial statements. In these circumstances, the most objective evidence
(available) should be used. For example, the provision for (bad debts) is an estimate of losses
expected from credit sales collection. These estimations should be based on objective factors as
(much) as possible, such as the company's past experience with bad debts and economic (forecasts
external).
, generally speaking , are made not from the bank’s own resources but from the funds
deposited to it by its customers , hence commercial banks must always (maintain) a delicate
balance among the three objectives of liquidity , safety and profitability in the dally
management of funds . Each of them can never be considered (alone) though the paramount
importance of liquidity must be recognized.
For a bank, the term “liquidity” is chiefly concerned (with) the ability to meet demands for
payments of deposits at any time. However, the need for (liquidity) is not based entirely on the
deposit function, it is also closely tied to the credit (function), that is, the obligation of every bank
to serve the credit (requirement) of its customers and the community. Liquidity also enables a
bank to provide for the (loan) requirements of its long-established customers who enjoy good
credit standing. In addition , it is equally essential that the banks take every possible measure to
protect the funds (deposited) by depositors who must be made to feel that funds left with the bank
are (safe) at all time. Lastly, a bank should always try its best to improve its annual net income
which will increase the (confidence) of its depositors and the public.
