Which of the following statements about the Conceptual Framework is true?

The Conceptual Framework provides the guiding concepts behind financial reporting, not a stand-alone standard. It is not a Philippine Financial Reporting Standard and it does not specify any particular measurement or disclosure requirements for specific items. Instead, it sets out the objectives, qualitative characteristics, definitions of financial statement elements, and broad measurement bases that standard-setters use to develop and revise standards. It does not replace PFRS in conflicts, it does not define tax rules, and it isn’t identical to PFRS because the actual standards are separate documents built on this framework.
