in simple language, accounting standards are made to remove variations in the treatment of various accounting aspects and related presentations. it further assist in comparison of financial statements of different companies.
For eg, there are atleast 10 methods of calculating depreciation on fixed assets. Now if no standard is devised for computing depreciation, every organization may use its own method of charging depreciation, resulting large scale variations and in-comparability. The accounting standard on depreciation takes care of such variation by clearly stating what methods to be used, how it can be used etc.
