Chapter covers IAS 8 requirements for accounting policies, including definitions, selection, consistent application, and conditions triggering policy changes. It distinguishes retrospective treatment for changes in accounting policy and prospective treatment for changes in accounting estimates, with examples such as useful life, residual value, depreciation methods, and provisions. It outlines prior-period error causes and correction via retrospective adjustments to opening balances, plus mandatory disclosures of nature, amount, and impacts across current, prior, and beginning periods. The chapter then summarizes IFRS 13 fair value measurement, including recurring vs nonrecurring measurement and the fair value hierarchy (Levels 1–3) and related disclosures. Finally, it presents IAS 2 inventory measurement at the lower of cost and net realizable value, detailing components of inventory cost: purchase costs, costs of conversion, and overhead allocation based on normal capacity.
