    hello Mr Mike,
    Can we say that a change in the depreciation method is a chnage in accounting policy? I have always believed that it is a change in accounting estimate

    The policy is “to charge depreciation on an asset so as to spread the cost over its estimated useful life”

    A change in the way depreciation is calculated is a change in estimate, not a change in policy
