This principle assumes that financial transactions are recorded in a stable, recognized currency (like USD, GBP, etc.) without adjusting for inflation. It provides consistency in accounting records, ensuring that all reported amounts have a common monetary basis and are comparable over time, despite economic changes or inflation effects.
