The effect of the change on income from continuing operations, net income (or other appropriate captions of changes in the applicable net assets or performance indicator), any other affected financial statement line item, and any affected per-share amounts for the current period and any prior periods retrospectively adjusted.A description of the prior-period information that has been retrospectively adjusted, if any.The method of applying the change, including all of the following:.The nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle, including an explanation of why the newly adopted accounting principle is preferable.See FSP 30.4.1 and FSP 30.4.2.Īn entity shall disclose all of the following in the fiscal period in which a change in accounting principle is made: Even if a reporting entity concludes that a change is immaterial and retrospective application is not required (refer to FSP 30.4.2 and discussion of SAB Topic 5.F), if the change is disclosed, an SEC registrant may still be required to file a preferability letter from their independent registered public accountants. In these situations, reporting entities should perform an assessment of the materiality of the accounting principle that they are changing, the materiality of the change, and the preferability of the change to determine what level of disclosure, if any, is warranted. However, in certain instances, reporting entities may have historically disclosed immaterial accounting principles for comparability with peers or for consistency with prior years. Therefore, it would be unusual for an accounting principle that is disclosed in previously-issued financial statements to be deemed immaterial for the purpose of considering ASC 250-10-45-1a. Generally, accounting principles that are not material are not disclosed in the footnotes.
