ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Enterprises must set up the criteria of accounting policies selection and changes, accounting approach to disclosure of information about changes in accounting policies, and accounting estimates and errors corrections.

 

ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND CHANGES IN ESTIMATES

Accounting policies are the principles, grounds, arrangements, rules, and practices that companies apply to drawing up and submission of financial reporting. 

Due to the accounting policies financial reporting containing appropriate and authentic information about the transactions and other applicable events and conditions are possible to draw. 

Changes in accounting estimates resulting from the new information or new developments are not the correction of the errors.
