The acquisition cost principle is a fundamental valuation rule in German commercial law. It states that assets must be recognised for the first time at no more than their acquisition cost. Acquisition costs may be recognised. The value may not exceed these original costs in subsequent years either. This principle serves the principle of prudence in accounting and is intended to prevent unrealised gains from being recognised due to the revaluation of assets. It ensures a conservative and realistic valuation. Special valuation requirements can be met through add-ons such as the Versino Financial Suite that enable advanced financial analyses.
