Tip:會計政策變更與會計估計變更的區(qū)別
會計政策變更:是指企業(yè)對相同的交易或事項由原來采用的會計政策改用另一種會計政策的行為。如壞賬核算從直接法改為備抵法。
會計估計變更:是指由于資產或負債的當前狀況及預期經濟利益和義務發(fā)生了變化,從而對資產或負債的賬面價值或資產的定期消耗金額進行調整的行為。如壞賬核算備抵法下6個月-12個月賬齡的計提比例從5%調整為10%.
Tip: 會計估計變更與會計差錯更正的區(qū)別
過去做出的判斷,已不適用今天和未來的情況,那么我們要做出相應的調整。這種調整是政策變更、估計變更,還是差錯更正?
在當時的歷史條件下,另一名有適當經驗的合格財務人員是否會做出相同的判斷?
“是”,會計估計變更(05年底球型顯示器生產線的減值準備提少了)
“否”,會計差錯更正(10年底球型顯示器生產線的減值準備提少了)
