mean?

Why does every organization must

adhere to Accounting standards

Accounting is the core of any business. It is a process which gives you the information about the financial stability of your business. Each and every transaction that takes place within your organization has to be recorded properly. Without a proper Accounting system, no business can survive in this data oriented world. Accounting is based on some standards and these are known Accounting Standards. Every Organization must adhere to these Accounting Standards. If one organization fails to adhere to these well-defined Accounting Standards, then it will result in complete chaos within the organization and will spoil the reputation of the company.
