Accounting Changes and Error Corrections

Accounting changes and error corrections refer to the systematic approach used to recognize amendments in accounting policies, alterations in accounting estimates, and the rectification of mistakes from previous financial periods. The process ensures that financial statements present a true and fair view of an entity's financial position and performance, adhering to relevant accounting standards.
