Respuesta :
(A) A change in the way the accounting rules are applied has an impact on the financial statements' consistency and, as a result, their comparability if the company changes the way it values its inventory. The modification must be discussed in an explanatory paragraph in the auditor's report.
(b) The CPA's audit report does not need to contain a comment regarding consistency if the company sold one of its two subsidiaries that had been included in its consolidated statements for prior years. Although no accounting concept was altered or the way by which it was applied, a business transaction has affected how the financial statements are comparable.
(c) The comparability of the financial statements has been impacted if the company reduced the projected remaining useful life of plant property due to obsolescence. The adjustment is not a question of consistency; instead, it is a change in accounting estimate necessitated by new circumstances and includes neither a difference in the accounting principles used consistency.
