| Davidrh | Why not in accordance with GAAP? Don't GAAP regulate, whether a firm MUST change or MAY change accounting procedures? A firm can't change accounting procedures voluntarily unless allowed by GAAP (if they want to be in compliance). An explanation would be greatly appreciated. |
| jzty | For example, a change of depreciation method will cause accounting changes. This is voluntary by the firm. |
| Fortschrit | I agree that it would be good to get an explanation on why c is wrong here. |
I am happy to say that I passed! Your study notes certainly helped prepare me for what was the most difficult exam I had ever taken.
