In so far as accounting is concerned:

- Principles are set by the accounting industry and oversight committees / agencies (AICPA, SEC, PCAOB, FASB, GASB, etc.)

- Policies are set by the company - usually to deal with iodisynchracies specific to that company or industry.

When would you feel it would be justified to go against accepted principles or policy?

Going against accepted principles or policies may be justified when those principles or policies are unethical, harmful, or illegal. It may also be justified when circumstances have significantly changed, making the existing principles or policies no longer relevant or effective. Additionally, if following the principles or policies would result in greater harm than deviating from them, it may be justifiable to do so.
