This Statement specifies that the specialized accounting and reporting principles and practices contained in the AICPA Statements of Position and Guides on accounting and auditing matters designated herein are preferable accounting principles for purposes of justifying a change in accounting principles as required by APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes.
