Inflation accounting
Accounting practices allowing for the effects of inflation.
inflation accounting
Alteration of a firm's financial statements to account for changes in the purchasing power of money. With inflation accounting, gains and losses from holding monetary items during periods of changing prices are recognized. Likewise, long-term assets and liabilities are adjusted for changing price levels. Inflation accounting is used to supplement regular financial statements in order to illustrate how changing price levels can affect a firm. Also called general price level accounting.
