  Tip:会计政策变更与会计估计变更的区别
  会计政策变更:是指企业对相同的交易或事项由原来采用的会计政策改用另一种会计政策的行为。如坏账核算从直接法改为备抵法。
  会计估计变更:是指由于资产或负债的当前状况及预期经济利益和义务发生了变化,从而对资产或负债的账面价值或资产的定期消耗金额进行调整的行为。如坏账核算备抵法下6个月-12个月账龄的计提比例从5%调整为10%.
  Tip: 会计估计变更与会计差错更正的区别
  过去做出的判断,已不适用今天和未来的情况,那么我们要做出相应的调整。这种调整是政策变更、估计变更,还是差错更正?
  在当时的历史条件下,另一名有适当经验的合格财务人员是否会做出相同的判断?
  “是”,会计估计变更(05年底球型显示器生产线的减值准备提少了)

USCPA备考 热门问题解答
美国注会考试考多少分及格?

uscpa一共有四门科目,每门考试的满分为99分,75分及格,但是这个75不是75%的正确率,不能被理解为百分比。

uscpa一共几门几年考完?

uscpa总共考4门,一般单科成绩的有效期为18个月,大家需要在这个有效期的时间内,通过剩余的三门科目,否则第一门通过的考试成绩就作废,需要重考。因此,uscpa考试周期最长为18个月。

uscpa一年能考几次?

NASBA和AICPA开启了连续测试期后,大家可以不受限制的全年参加uscpa考试。在uscpa的考试成绩公布后,如果大家发现自己没有通过考试,能够马上申请并参加该门科目考试,也不用再等待下一个考季才能申请重考。

uscpa的含金量如何?

uscpa是美国正式的注册会计师国家资格,在美国拥有审计签字权,作为美国财经领域的三大黄金证书之一,在国内外都有着很好的知名度。很多外企招聘财务经理或财务总监岗位,都将持有uscpa证书作为优先录用条件。
