framework consists broadly of the following:
• Objectives—to provide information useful to investors,
creditors, and others.
• Qualitative Characteristics—to require information that is
relevant, reliable, and comparable.
• Elements—to define items that financial statements can
contain.
• Recognition and Measurement—to set criteria that an
item must meet for it to be recognized as an element; and
how to measure that element.
