Constant dollar accounting

What is Constant Dollar Accounting?

Constant dollar accounting is a method for restating financial statements for the effects of inflation. Doing so achieves greater comparability between the financial statements associated with different accounting periods. The adjustment is usually made using the consumer price index. The adjustment does not require any changes to monetary items, such as cash and cash equivalents.
