    Hi Kim,

    For accounting policy, i know that it will be adjusted retrospectively. That means from opening balance which is from last year ?

    Further for accounting estimate, i know that it will be adjusted prospectively. That means not like accounting policy like above, it will only be adjusted from this year onwards

    am i on the right track ?

    Yes – “retro” is backward looking – “prospect” is forward looking.
