Chapter 9 IAS-8 Accounting Policies, Change in Estimates and Errors
1. Accounting Policies
When an IFRS specifically applies to a transaction, other event or condition, the accounting policy or
policies applied to that item shall be determined by applying the IFRS.
In the absence of an IFRS that specifically applies to a transaction, other event or condition,
management shall use its judgement in developing and applying an accounting policy that results in
information that is:
An entity shall select and apply its accounting policies consistently for similar transactions,
other events and conditions, unless an IFRS specifically requires or permits categorisation of
items for which different policies may be appropriate. If an IFRS requires or permits such
categorisation, an appropriate accounting policy shall be selected and applied consistently to
each category.
(a) the application of an accounting policy for transactions, other events or conditions
that differ in substance from those previously occurring; and
(b) the application of a new accounting policy for transactions, other events or conditions
that did not occur previously or were immaterial.
The initial application of a policy to revalue assets in accordance with IAS 16 Property, Plant
and Equipment or IAS 38 Intangible Assets is a change in an accounting policy to be dealt
with as a revaluation in accordance with IAS 16 or IAS 38, rather than in accordance with
this Standard. (i.e: prospective application)
(a) an entity shall account for a change in accounting policy resulting from the initial
application of an IFRS in accordance with the specific transitional provisions, if any, in that
IFRS; and
(b) when an entity changes an accounting policy upon initial application of an IFRS that does
not include specific transitional provisions applying to that change, or changes an accounting
policy voluntarily, it shall apply the change retrospectively.
The entity shall adjust the opening balance of each affected component of equity for the
earliest prior period presented and the other comparative amounts disclosed for each prior
period presented as if the new accounting policy had always been applied.
When an entity applies a new accounting policy retrospectively, it applies the new
accounting policy to comparative information for prior periods as far back as is practicable.
1.7 Disclosures
When a voluntary change in accounting policy has an effect on the current period or any
prior period, would have an effect on that period except that it is impracticable to determine
the amount of the adjustment, or might have an effect on future periods, an entity shall
disclose:
(a) the period of the change, if the change affects that period only; or
(b) the period of the change and future periods, if the change affects both.
2.2 Disclosure
An entity shall disclose the nature and amount of a change in an accounting estimate that
has an effect in the current period or is expected to have an effect in future periods, except
for the disclosure of the effect on future periods when it is impracticable to estimate that
effect.
If the amount of the effect in future periods is not disclosed because estimating it is
impracticable, an entity shall disclose that fact.
3. Errors
An entity shall correct material prior period errors retrospectively in the first set of financial
statements authorized for issue after their discovery by:
(a) restating the comparative amounts for the prior period(s) presented in which the error
occurred; or
(b) if the error occurred before the earliest prior period presented, restating the opening
balances of assets, liabilities and equity for the earliest prior period presented.
A prior period error shall be corrected by retrospective restatement except to the extent that
it is impracticable to determine either the period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of
the error.
(c) the amount of the correction at the beginning of the earliest prior period presented;
and
(d) if retrospective restatement is impracticable for a particular prior period, the
circumstances that led to the existence of that condition and a description of how and
from when the error has been corrected.
