Chapter 20 Accounting Changes and
Error Corrections

AACSB assurance of learning standards in accounting and business education require
documentation of outcomes assessment. Although schools, departments, and faculty may approach
assessment and its documentation differently, one approach is to provide specific questions on exams
that become the basis for assessment. To aid faculty in this endeavor, we have labeled each question,
exercise, and problem in Intermediate Accounting, 9e, with the following AACSB learning skills:

QUESTIONS FOR REVIEW OF KEY TOPICS
Question 20-1
Accounting changes are categorized as:
1. Changes in principle (when companies switch from one acceptable accounting
method to another)
2. Changes in estimate (when new information causes companies to revise
estimates made previously)
3. Changes in reporting entity (the group of companies comprising the reporting
entity changes)


Question 20-2
Accounting changes can be accounted for:
1. Retrospectively (prior years revised),
2. Modified retrospectively, (adoption period only revised),
or 3. Prospectively (only current and future years affected).


Question 20-3
In general, we report voluntary changes in accounting principles retrospectively.
This means revising all previous periods’ financial statements presented in
comparative statements as if the new method were used in those periods. In other

,words, for each year in the comparative statements reported, we revise the balance of
each account affected. Specifically, we make those statements appear as if the newly
adopted accounting method had been applied all along. Also, if retained earnings is
one of the accounts whose balance requires adjustment (and it usually is), we revise
the beginning balance of retained earnings for the earliest period reported in the
comparative statements of shareholders’ equity (or statements of retained earnings if
they’re presented instead). Then we create a journal entry to adjust all account
balances affected as of the date of the change. In the first set of financial statements
after the change, a disclosure note would describe the change and justify the new
method as preferable. It also would describe the effects of the change on all items
affected, including the fact that the retained earnings balance was revised in the
statement of shareholders’ equity.
