Comparability allows comparisons to be made between or among companies. Even though a certain amount of freedom exists in selecting accounting techniques, when this information is disclosed in the financial statements, users can still compare the information when they know what technique is used. Consistency refers to the application of the same accounting techniques over time. It involves the relationships between a set of numbers over several periods, but within one company only, unlike comparability that can be between or among companies.
