Why is Inflation Accounting Important?
Inflation accounting is a practice that aims to correct the distortion caused by inflation in the financial statements of businesses, from small shops to multinational corporations, due to rising or falling product prices in various parts of the world.
The main reason why inflation accounting is important and capital-valuable is to avoid the danger of capital erosion caused by non-inflationary profits. Because inflationary profits accrue taxes on non-inflationary profits and cause capital erosion through high profit distributions.
Unrealistic profitability in the financial statements can be eliminated through inflation adjustment. Inflation-adjusted assets and liabilities and profitability are shown at their real values. It enables the financial analysis necessary for the financial measurement and evaluation of the performance status.
Organizations operating in economies with high inflation apply inflation accounting in order to accurately determine the amount of loss or gain in their assets due to high inflation. This function makes inflation accounting very important and valuable.
