• Reference Standard Decay
  • In accounting and audit, the rule against which firms are audited drifts as GAAP and IFRS issue revisions, requiring vintage reconciliation for cross-year comparability.

    This sourceMandates retrospective restatement of comparatives when an accounting standard or policy changes, so cross-year financials are reconciled to a common vintage — the audit-standard instance of reference versioning.

    IAS 8 requires accounting-policy changes to be applied retrospectively, backing the accounting half of the claim only; it says nothing of audit rules, GAAP, or 'vintage reconciliation'.

    “Changes in an accounting policy are applied retrospectively unless this is impracticable or unless another IFRS Standard sets specific transitional provisions.”

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
