A company’s financial statements sometimes report significantly different results from year to year. This may be due to changes in economic circumstances, but it may also be due to changes in accounting methods or corrections of errors in recording past transactions. Changing the accounting method used can have a dramatic impact on a company’s financial statements.
This CPE E-Book covers the accounting, reporting, and disclosures associated with changes in accounting principles (method), estimates, and reporting entities as stipulated in ASC 250-10-05, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections: Overall (FAS-154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—A Replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3).
Accounting changes and error correction refer to the guidance on reflecting accounting changes and errors in financial statements. It outlines the rules for correcting and applying changes to financial statements, which include requirements for the accounting for, and reporting of, a change in accounting principle, a change in accounting estimate, a change in reporting entity, or the correction of an error.
This E-Book also provides an overview of the accounting requirements with respect to accounting changes and error corrections and the reporting implications within an entity’s financial statements.
