Which Accounting Standard deals with infltion? and how?..

Answer / naviii

Financial statements are prepared on historical costs and
fail to present a true and fair view of the business as
they do not consider price level changes. Inflation
accounting, on the other hand, is recording all the
financial and economic events of a business in terms of
current cost and discloses a true and fair view of the
business. But in India, there is an urgent need of a
generally-accepted inflation accounting method to keep pace
with the global system of accounting.
