Which principle requires that information be disclosed to enable informed decision-making by users?

• A. Monetary Unit
• B. Materiality
• C. Adequate Disclosure
• D. Consistency

Answer: (C)

Adequate disclosure requires that information be disclosed to enable informed decision-making by users. This principle ensures financial statements reveal all information necessary for users to understand the financial position and performance, including accounting policies, contingencies, uncertainties, risks, and significant events after the reporting period. For example, details about material risks, contingent liabilities, or changes in accounting policies help users assess future outcomes and make better judgments. The other options relate to different aspects: monetary unit concerns reporting in a single currency, consistency focuses on using the same methods over time, and materiality governs whether information is significant enough to disclose. But the requirement to provide information that allows informed decisions is fulfilled through adequate disclosure.
