Both concepts are pillars of accounting as they focus on the overall impact being put on the business.

  • According to the materiality, an accounting requirement must be omitted if the total effect on financial statement is so minimal that the financial statements auditor will not be deceived.
  • Consistency principle refers to the requirement of accounting procedures being implemented uniformly in future.
  • When an accounting policy is changed for some cause, the motive and reason of change and the impact on financial reporting items must all be disclosed.
  • Both the concepts focus towards ensuring the proper flow and record of information to influence various management decisions.
