Principe voulant que la comptabilité soit tenue et les états financiers (ou comptes) soient établis sur la base du coût historique de préférence à toute autre base de mesure. Ainsi, les opérations et les faits sont enregistrés au montant des liquidités versées ou reçues ou à la juste valeur qui leur a été attribuée au moment où ils se sont produits. Une fois qu’on l’a établi, le coût historique est maintenu dans les comptes tant que l’élément demeure dans l’entité. 1, record 4, French, - principe%20du%20co%C3%BBt%20historique
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Le principe du coût historique n’ est crédible que si on adopte le postulat de la continuité de l'exploitation de l'entité. Il est de peu d’utilité si on envisage la liquidation de celle-ci. Le grand avantage du coût historique sur toutes les autres bases d’évaluation est sa fiabilité : son utilisation aboutit normalement à des informations objectives et vérifiables. 1, record 4, French, - principe%20du%20co%C3%BBt%20historique

We shall use "utilitarianism" to refer to the moral theory that there is one and only one basic principle in ethics, the principle of utility, which asserts that we ought always to produce the greatest possible balance of value over disvalue (or the least possible balance of disvalue, if only undesirable results can be achieved). 3, record 5, English, - utilitarianism
