How do you report a change in accounting estimate?
The changes in accounting estimates are known to be as Contra Asset Accounts. These are negative asset accounts by nature. They are deducted from the actual book value of an asset at the end of a fiscal period. The amount left over after the deduction is known to be a net book value of that particular asset. This net book value helps a company realize a profit or loss when that particular asset is sold out. The contra asset account is presented under the asset on the balance sheet. The amount credited while reporting a change is a mere estimation which is calculated by the method adopted by the company.Examples of those methods could be:Straight Line Method - DepreciationDouble Declining Balance - DepreciationDays Outstanding - Allowance for Doubtful AccountsPercentage of Accounts Receivable - Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
