- Definition Tabular disclosure of the change in an accounting estimate, including a change that occurs in an interim period. If a change in accounting estimate affects several future periods (for example, a change in the service life of a depreciable asset) disclose the effect on income from continuing operations, net income (or other appropriate captions of changes in the applicable net assets or performance indicator), and any related per-share amounts of the current period. Disclosure of the effects of a change in an accounting estimate that occurs in the ordinary course of business (such as uncollectible accounts or inventory obsolescence) is not required, unless the effect is material. + References Reference 1: http://fasb.org/us-gaap/role/ref/legacyRef -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 270 -SubTopic 10 -Section 45 -Paragraph 14 -Publisher FASB -URI https://asc.fasb.org//1943274/2147482989/270-10-45-14 Reference 2: http://fasb.org/us-gaap/role/ref/legacyRef -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 250 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 4 -Publisher FASB -URI https://asc.fasb.org//1943274/2147483443/250-10-50-4 + Details
