Learning Objectives
Ind AS 8 (Indian Accounting Standard 8) provides guidance on how to select appropriate accounting policies and how to account for changes in accounting policies, accounting estimates, and errors in a company's financial statements.
Some key aspects of Ind AS 8 are as follows:
- Accounting policies: Ind AS 8 requires companies to select accounting policies that are consistent with the requirements of Ind ASs and that are appropriate to their particular circumstances. If there is no specific guidance in Ind ASs, companies should use their judgement to develop accounting policies that provide the most useful and relevant information to users of the financial statements.
- Changes in accounting policies: Ind AS 8 requires companies to account for changes in accounting policies retrospectively, unless doing so is impracticable. Any adjustments resulting from changes in accounting policies should be made to the opening balance of retained earnings or, if applicable, to the carrying amounts of the affected assets or liabilities.
- Changes in accounting estimates: Ind AS 8 requires companies to account for changes in accounting estimates prospectively, in the period of the change and future periods affected by the change.
- Errors: Ind AS 8 requires companies to account for errors retrospectively, by restating the comparative information in the financial statements and adjusting the opening balance of retained earnings.
- Disclosure requirements: Ind AS 8 requires companies to provide detailed disclosures about their accounting policies, any changes in policies or estimates, and any material corrections of errors.
