Common accounting constraints include objectivity (requiring verifiable evidence), the cost-benefit principle (weighing the cost of information against its usefulness), materiality (focusing on significant information), consistency (applying the same methods over time), industry practices (following accepted norms within a specific sector ...
Constraints accounting is an accounting technique, much like throughput accounting, which focuses on ongoing improvement and implementation of the theory of constraints. It includes an explicit consideration of the role of constraints, a specification of throughput contribution effects, and the decoupling of throughput from operational expenses.
The scope constraint refers to what must be done to produce the project's end result. These three constraints are often competing constraints: increased scope typically means increased time and increased cost, a tight time constraint could mean increased costs and reduced scope, and a tight budget could mean increased time and reduced scope.

The FASB expects that the new system will reduce the amount of time and effort required to research an accounting issue, mitigate the risk of noncompliance with standards through improved usability of the literature, provide accurate information with real-time updates as new standards are released, and assist the FASB with the research efforts ...

[2] A tradeoff, then, involves a sacrifice that must be made to obtain a certain product, service, or experience, rather than others that could be made or obtained using the same required resources.
