- Accounting policies to comply with each Ind AS effective at the end of its first Ind AS reporting period
- May apply a new Ind AS that is not yet mandatory if that Ind AS permits early application
- Not apply different versions of Ind ASs that were effective at earlier dates
Changes in accounting policies
- Ind AS 8 does not apply to the changes in accounting policies an entity makes when it adopts Ind ASs or to changes in those policies until after it presents its first Ind AS financial statements.

it shall explain the changes between its first Ind AS interim financial report and its first Ind AS financial statements, and it shall update the reconciliations.
