- 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://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 250 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 4 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=28359718&loc=d3e22595-107794 Reference 2: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 270 -SubTopic 10 -Section 45 -Paragraph 14 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6372559&loc=d3e777-108305 Reference 3: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 250 -SubTopic 10 -Section 45 -Paragraph 18 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6368906&loc=d3e21843-107793 Reference 4: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 270 -SubTopic 10 -Section S99 -Paragraph 1 -Subparagraph (SX 210.10-01.(a)(5)) -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=27015980&loc=d3e46468-122699 Reference 5: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher SEC -Name Regulation S-X (SX) -Number 210 -Section 01 -Paragraph a -Subparagraph 5 -Article 10 + Details
