Change in Accounting Entity

Home » CMA Glossary Term » Financial Statements and Reporting » Change in Accounting Entity

A “Change in Accounting Entity” refers to a modification in the structure or composition of an accounting entity, such as mergers, acquisitions, or reorganizations. An accounting entity is a clearly defined economic unit, like a corporation or partnership, for which financial statements are prepared. This change necessitates the restatement of financial statements to reflect the new entity structure, ensuring comparability and consistency.
