    B.

    Full Disclosure

    C.

    Conservatism

    D.

    Correct option is C

    The correct answer is (c) Conservatism

    Explanation:
    • The statement “Anticipate no profit and provide for all possible losses” directly reflects the conservatism (prudence) concept.
    • This principle ensures that profits are not overstated and losses are recognized as soon as they are foreseeable.
    • It promotes cautious financial reporting, preventing overvaluation of assets or income.
    • It ensures that financial statements present a realistic view of the organization’s financial position.

    Information Booster:
    • Also called the Principle of Prudence.
    • Emphasized by AS-1 (Accounting Standard – Disclosure of Accounting Policies).
    • Helps in maintaining creditors’ confidence by avoiding inflated profits.
    • Encourages provision for doubtful debts and depreciation.
    • Key phrase: “Recognize all probable losses, but only realized gains.”

    Additional Knowledge:
    Consistency Concept: Requires uniform accounting methods across periods.
    Full Disclosure Concept: All relevant facts must be clearly disclosed in financial statements.
    Materiality Concept: Only significant information affecting decision-making should be recorded
