In this paper, we highlight the complimentary nature of the results of Anco & Bluman and Ibragimov in the construction of\nconservation laws that whilst the former establishes the role of multipliers, the latter presents a formal procedure to determine\nthe flows. Secondly, we show that there is an underlying relationship between the symmetries and conservation laws in a general\nsetting, extending the results of Kara &Mahomed;. The results take apparently differently forms for point symmetry generators and\nhigher-order symmetries. Similarities exist, to some extent, with a previously established result relating symmetries andmultipliers\nof a differential equation. A number of examples are presented.
